I had Pirelli Zero Nero M/S in 255/45/18 on my 07. The approved rim width are 8 to 10 inch. I had them on some ARE Casino's in size 18 x 8 all the way around and no issues at all.

I switched to American Muscle DD Bullitts in 18 x 9 and 18 x 10. I am using a pair of the 255/45/18's on the 18 x 9's in front and some new 285/40/18's on the 18 x 10's in the rear. Still no issues.

I now have a set of four wheels for sale. ARE Casinos in 18 x 8 with about 6K on them

That is a thin rim. I say you sell it and get some wider ones or sell therear ones and get the same rim just wider. Can't work with what you don't have, ya know

Should be a bunch of pics since this is the stock tire size that come on the 18's from the factory.

Right, but why do you want so much rubber? 40 or 45 is fine.
