LS 2000 Wheel sizes

[nutz]

Hello,
I have stock wheels on my LS 2000 V8.
I searching now for wheels, but i cant understand what sizes i must search.
Is this is right?
PCD must be 5x108 and ET 40 ? (18x8, PCD:5x108,ET40)
What about ET, it can be like 35 also or must be only 40?

Please give me some information how to find fitting rims. I`m in europe so we dont have online shops where i can find wheels by usa car model. So please help somebody.

Thank you

You have the bolt pattern correct but what do you mean by "ET"?

Wheel offset

Some people have had success with 18X8 and a +38 offset but I think that is about as low as you can go. Generally with the LS the higher the offset the better. I would ay try to stay at or above +40, but if you are going to get 19 or 20 inch wheels then stay at or above +45. All of this is to try and prevent rubbing on the fender wheels if you lower the car. Hope this helps.

So 18x8, 5x108 with offset 40 will be ok? Or maybe better 18x7,5 or 7

42 would be good, especially if the car is lowered. You can get away with 38 or 40 if the car is at stock height.
