Question Help with rim size

Hey, I have a 2010 V6 with Pony package, I know the rims are 18" but do not know the width. I'm thinking 18 x 8 or 18 x 8.5, does anybody have the answer? Thanks

Look on the inside of your driver side door. There will be a tag with your wheel and tire sizes.

Thanks, they are 18 x 8, now here is my follow on question. Stock they come with 235/50, could I put on 255/40 or would I have to get wider rims? Any help would be great. Thanks

Yes you can but 255/45/18 would be better as they will be the same height as your factory tires. This is the size I will go with when my factory tires wear out.

I agree, I am getteing ready for new 255/45R18 front and 285/40R18 with some new 18" x 9.5" fronts and 18" x 10" rear wheels. I will be selling my 18" bullitts and tires soon.

These nextag searches are pretty good.
