the lower the et the more the rim sticks out, if u want a tyre to be more stretched u need more j

sometimes technical def. dont explain the exact meaning and how it works

the ET is how in and out the wheel stands out, so more the ET measures the more the rim stays in, example if i got a rim with ET of 20 it will stand out more then a rim of ET 35 so that way i dont need spacers, otherwise u will need spacers with a higher ET, thats why an original rim has an ET of no...

didnt need spacer cos we got the et as we wanted it,its a 30et and 8,5j so the tires are just perfect not to strecht but not to straight if u know what i mean,and i will have to put or adjustable lowering or gas lowering, thanks for the compliments

i think its not about the 18s its about the et and j, mine actually handles quite nice,i drove it from italy on 18s and ive had no problems,as soon as my lowering kit arrives i will mount it and do some pics.

thanks guys, let me get the car lowerd then pics.

as soon as i lower it i will send some pics,cos i have to tint the rear lights and also tint all of the windows

it drives perfecty, ive just drove from italy with it

i cant reveal whats under there yet folks,and yes it will be seriously lowerd my friends, i wanted to see how the rims fitted first, im thinking of or a v-maxx complete kit that you lower how u want or BELOW suspensions.

here are some pics of my rims mounted, they are tomason tn4 18" with ET 30 and a 8.5J

ive just mounted yesterday 18" tomason tn4 on my gti
