7.5" width seems rather too narrow,
the proper bolt pattern is 5x120

7.5 is stock for the ls. But here's a question. Can I put the factory 18x7.5 tire on an 18x8 wheel? What affects will that have and will it be that noticeable as for as looks

Hello,

The factory tire will work but the sidewall have a ballooned look. Are you dead set on 18" wheels and if so what wheels are you going with?

Regards

I've put money aside for other mods so something cheap but looks good. I love the foose speed machined

I don't know of a cheap low profile tire to put on. But if the 7.5 is put on an 8 wouldnt the ballooning be less noticeable? And is it even possible to put the 7.5 on?
