Default rim size vs tire size

my 460ls has oem wheels and 18in. tires. i am looking to buy chrome wheels, but am concerned about the various different offsets,bolt patterns etc. i want to keep my p235/50 tires.how much can i vary,and will it effect the ride or the tire sensors

If you are keeping your same tires, you would have to get wheels that are the same size as your stock wheels. Whoever sells you the wheels can make sure the bolt pattern is correct.

bolt pattern 5x120

if you are staying with 18s and the same tires, ride can't degrade. sensors, depends on what wheels you get, some of them are tps compatible, some are not. and it only means you can only reduce offset to push out the wheels close to the fender
