    Bren has/had some on his astra.
    You will need 7 or 7.7x18 with ET45 and 215/35/18 tyres.

    If you are going to lower it loads you will need to get thearches rolled flat.

    Theres a chap near me in Devon that has18s on his Mk 3 astra (his is a 3 door tough).

    I think they are 7.5 " wide & they are on 215/35s, he`s rolled his arhes & lowered about 30-40mm & he gets only a tiny amount of scrubbing.

    As for offest I`d make sure its betwen 45 & 49mm

    as he says ^^

    90% of mk3's with 18s get some amount of rubbing, no way to say either way whether it will or it wont.
    But they do look good

    not much work for a mk3

    roll the arches for ultimate clearance but they should fit fine on an ET45 7/7.5" width and 215/35 tyres
