when i had ET38s under heavy braking my car shook to fook, put on ET45s and the shaking went away, the handling felt lighter and better and the scrubbing went away, triple threat.

I had 15's et38 with 60mm drop... 45 profile tyres...

arches needed knocking out, but other than that was great!

handling was faultless, but could of been due to coilovers...

no ill effects, tramlining, or uneven wear on tyres!

I had 15" et32 on my corsa, now put them on astra but were fine on both, no catching.

Offsets on the Irmscher wheels vary from ET49 through to whatever.

Steinmetz are ET38-42 on most applications.

Excessive tramlining, increased strain on CV joints, unpredictible handling under heavy braking.
