Default 18" polished rims on 2007 GT size?

Does anyone know if the upgraded 18" rims are 18x8.5, 18x9, 18x9.5 or 18x10?

I'm wondering because I'd like to upgrade the tires to BFG KDW - 2's like 275x40x18's and wonder if these would fit on the upgraded 18" or if I'm going to need to get entireley new rims?

If that's the case I'll just get the standard 17" rims and then upgrade the rims and tires after.

the factory 18" option size comes with 235/50 tires. They might be the same width as the 17's, whatever that is. It's not in my brochure. I don't know if 275's would fit well.
The GT500 wheels are 18 x 9.5 and they manage to fit 285x40's on those

Discount Tire's website lists the Brigestone 255/45-18 KDW as a viable replacement for the stock tire, You probably shouldn't go any larger than that on the 8.5" wheel.
