fit wise i have heard that the magnex is best but not the loudest, the popular choice seems to be the mongooseas for the wheels i have read else where that the offset for a saph should be between 32-40. As far as the ratios are concerned i don't know but im reyland or bernie the gearbox man will.
Hope this helps.

Standard offset is 35. The width of your wheels is important here, not just that they're 18".

i've got a set of 8x17's on the rear of the sierra with an ET of 45, they are perfect with 215/45 tyres on them

on the front it's a whole different matter as i needed 15mm spacers to clear the struts and the stick out the arches like a bastard

it might be worth going for a 7x18 at the front if it's possible with a slimmer tyre
