Wheels

I'm looking to put 18x9.5 on the back of my 2002 lse I currently have 18x8.5 what is the recomended offset for 18x9.5 on the 2002lse? I'm looking for a wider stance. And another question is will 5x4.5 fit on the lug pattern it supposed to be 5x108 but I'm being told that 5x108 and 5x4.5 are the same I just want to be sure before I order the wheels and they don't fit.

The offset should be pretty high for a 9.5 rear rim, probably like 55 or more. Check with people who have the staggered S Type R Jag rims.
As far as the bolt pattern, this link is from Tirerack.com

Ok new question I just found out that the wheels on my car ADR propolsions don't come wider than 8.5 in my lug pattern if I use wheel adapters to change the lug pattern that will add an inch to the hub pushing the wheel to far out so can anybody tell me if there's a hub that's lug pattern is 5x114.3 that will match up to my car or how I might be Abe to convert to a 5x114.3 without wheel adapters

no one has done a hub swap on the ls. You're on your own there.

I thought the ls was 4.25 not 4.5

 

[pektel]

correct. 5x108 = 5x4.25

 

[LEOV5]

Yes, the LS is 4.25 or 108 metric.

 

[LEOV5]

Wow, pektel you must have beat my response by 1/10 of sec.

 

[Alax7]

lol^^^^..... Yeah cause mustangs are 4.5 and I remember that they dont fit the ls

Yesss.. I saw this and was like, "I will wait for someone else to say it's 4.25. I really don't feel like typing right now.." :lol:

 

[LEOV5]

Well I saw it in the morning, then I went to work, then I came home and made the comment..

 

[airforcelse]

any helpfull thoughts? i already know that my hub is 5x108=5x4.25 and i need to change to 5x114.3=5x4.5

I would start at a machine shop. IDK if they will drill the fronts because of the sealed type of bearing but hey.. You might get lucky..

Have you thought about calling ADR directly and asking them to sell you undrilled wheels in the model you want? Maybe they can make a set for you. That would be alot easier than a hub swap in my eyes.

Thats a good idea. But a lot of companies dont sell to the public. You have to get the wheels from their vendors. It would be cool if they did, it would open up doors to new rims for the ls
