The datum is the face that mates to the hub......

Ok, imagine you have a cross section of a wheel, draw a line thru the cross section that goes top to bottom, with the face that mates to the wheel hub as the datum. the distance the mating bit is off the center line of the rim, thats the ET. i think its - for towards outside the rim.

chances are you'll need a spacer shim to clear the caliper about 3mm thick?
