The ET number is the offset is how many mm off the center (width-wise) the wheel mounts on the hub.
In other words, a low or negative ET gives you that deep dish and wide track, a high number will mean the weels will sit closer to the center of the car.
I have no clue what would work with 18s, but FWIW:
The stock ET for the 15" basketweaves is 24 IIRC.
