Ok I will just get 2x 18x9.5 e22 to replace my 18x9.5 et35.
If you're talking about et22 up front I would advise against it. Scrub radius is optimal on et42 in front, 35 can be okay with enough negative camber to offset the change in scrub radius. The further away from et42 you go (35, 30, and down) the more the scrub radius moves from negative into zero or even positive territory, which leads to handling issues. See this thread, with great insight from The Hack on why offset matters a lot and why it's a huge component in the handling/stability of the car. (Apologies if you know this already--I didn't--and I learned a lot.)
