ET advice
Norbreck21a:
Also depends on the rim width (7½", 8", 8½" etc.)
I have 18" x 8" Rims on mine with an ET of 42, and they are pretty much flush with the inside edges of the wheelarch.
BeezerDiesel:
I've got 8x18 ET44 and it catches on the front occasionally on speed humps, sits very flush to the arches.

^ Ditto, mine are the same size and I wouldn't want them any further out.
scarpicus:
my wheels are 18x8 ET40 and im sitting flush as well.
if you plan to go a lot lower than the lowest offset i would get would be about 45
i regret in someways getting wheels with such a low offset as i want to go lower but i may have problems as i have posted about today. :happy2:

Remember that the lower the offset, the lower the number, the further the wheels will sit out. So if you wanted the offset lower than 40 you will be looking at 35. Ive got 18x8 ET45 on the front and i woulddnt go much further than that, as TC says ET42 on an 8" is plenty for the front. probably be OK with 35 on the rear though......j-u-s-t :happy2:
