Yes, if you look up the original tire size by searching through the make and model of your car it says the original tire size is 235-50-18. However, if you look up the specific wheel on tire rack (thats the link I provided) it says a slightly different size. Either way, I'm going with the 235-50-18 stockers.

On tirerack, my optional size is listed as the 235-50-18. I would think Ford knows what they want on their OEM wheels.

Why? Just plain stupid anyway you look at it. Zero reason not to go with 255/45/18. But to say it bluntly. Stupid move!

I don't think I'd throw around the S word too much on here. He has his own reasons for doing what he does.

I have stock 18", 8.5" widefan blades with the stock 235/50 tires. YUCK! I just bought 9.5" wide rims so I can step up to 275's...
235's seem like training wheels after awhile...
