300 series and 400 series wheels are more or less the same offset, IIRC.

The J number is normally the width...e.g. 15x5.5J (in the case of the 5-spokes in question)...don't ask me why! The full string is often something like 15x5.5Jx37.

cheers

J doesn't directly relate to the width size, J stands for the rim's inner shape, it's the most common shape for cars with tubeless tires.

Well I didn't know that :D It's normally quoted right after the width, so I assumed it was related...

You learn something every day :D
