[kammiz]

i have a 2001 astra caravan 2.0DTi.

i want to buy some wheels that is 8x18 et32, is this possible on my car? i am going to use 215/35-18 tires on this.

i also want to install coilovers (gewindefahrwerke). how much can i lower my car with these wheels?

Hello, my ET is 38 and i have also 8x18 with 225/35 tires. without lowering your car it fits very good.

how low you can go depends on what you are ready to do to make it fit.

if you´ve got enough money and the right guy on your side, you can do nearly everything you want to =)

i want to know how big wheels and which ET i have to use to make it fit my car when it is as low as it can be with KW 65/60, without modifications to the car. :)

Hi kammiz

i have the same car like you, look to my Gallery so you can see it.
My rims are 8x18 ET38 and its 60/20 low, i have no modification on the car!

Sorry, but my english is not so good, because its more than 10 years ago, that if have learn it!!!!!!

I hope that i can help you.

ok sorry kamiz I guess I misunderstood your question a little bit =)

the problem is, that the space for the rims in the rear of the car is quite little without any kind of modifications done =/

if it´s not a problem for you to drive the same et in the front and in the back, then I would try 8.5x18 et 35 (or higher). but in that case you have the problem, that your car looks wider (I don´t know whether that is the right word to use here) in the front as in the back, because the space for you rear-wheels is wider than for you front-wheels (I know that sounds stupid, but I don´t find better words for it in english, sorry =D).

I would suggest you to take some 8x18 rims with 215/35 R18 rubbers and et 35 - 40 and then buy 10mm spacers for your rear-wheels to make it look similar to the front.

and don´t forget: the most important thing is to take as much pics as possible and show them to us =D

kodman1972:

i love yor car! the wheels actually goes quite well with it! but you need to lower it in the rear! 60/40 would look much better. :) the opc front is awesome!

burny:

i think you're right. the best combination is the one i have today. i have 8x18 et42. i will install 10mm spacers in the rear also, because i agree to what you say about the car beeing wider in front than in the rear. ;)

more pics will come! i will make a gallery.
