i'm planing to buy new rims so i'm wondering about that ET. current rims are original opel 7X15 ET 33.
those that i plan to buy are 8X18 ET42 i think.
anyone know can i put that ET without any problem or what,
can anyone say how car is going with '18?

With ET,are your refering to the off set? If so then yes a 42 off set on 18" rims is fine, that's what i run :y
-
yes off set, how is the felling on 18 and what size tires are you runnig, thinking on putting 235 40

Yup they're the ones 235/40 :y Runs very nice on the 18", before fitment i thought the ride would be a little hard, but on fitment & running, she's very smooth & the cornering improved alot too. :)

vrba, just to let you know: I run 225/55R16 Michelins Primacy HP summer time and 195/65R15 Continentals WinterContacts TS 810. My winter tyres are almost new, my Michelins close to end of life. All in all, just from the point of which tyre is nicer to drive, it is actually Conti even though it is winter tyre, and that is probably just cause it is tinner. It is easier to steer when parking, less tramlining and less road noise. Obviously Michelins hold (dry) road better, but otherwise, objectively, for just plain normal driving and costs large tyres dont make any sence. It does not stop me looking for a set of nice 17inch rims though
