New Rims.... question

[Gast]

I apologizes for asking it in English, but i cant speak German that well..

I want to buy some new rims but have a question about the ET and J.
Is it possible to fit THESE wheel on my Astra F Cabrio ('95).

Figures:
15" 7J ET+15
or
15" 8J ET0

My car is also lowered by 3,5 cm. But will the wheels fit with that ET or does i have to roll my fenders.. i really dont kow.

Hope you can help me. Thanks.

Hello Vincent,

First of all, that rims look great, what brand are those?

With that ET its not possible to fit these rims on your car
also with your 3,5 cm lowered body.

You would have to drag out the wheel arches more than
2,5 cm at the front- and 2 cm at the rear axle, you will also
have to use bumpstops that rest on the axles but i'm
not sure.

That wouldn't be the best way because with that setup you
can't drive comfortable.
At my Moms convertible the rear axle the bumpstops rest on the axle
and the front it has less then 1cm spring distance.

May be you should try ET 30 at the front- and ET 25 at the rear axle
if it is possible,
(when your car has disc brakes at the rear it may chances to 20 or 30,
but i'm not sure)
With that performance you just have to fold your fenders.

I hope my english is good enough that you understand it.

And by the way your post should be posted at the area about Wheeles and suspension, but a moderator will move it.
