+1, yeah that is the stock size for the 18" fanblades... and if you look on tire rack, the reccomended size for those wheels is 255-45-18

Whats the stock size? The OP, said 235/45/18. Thats 2 sizes smaller than what came on the stock 18's.

My '07 came with the stock fanblades and 235/50/18's and I never DID like their width. 255's would be the way to go if you're using your stock 18" wheels. I'd go a bit wider if the wheels can SAFELY handle it.
