Question about OEM 18's

Hey guys,

I know that the two rear tires on the coupe are wider than the fronts. My question is what is the wheels sizes for front and rear?

Are both front and rears 18 x 8?

Been looking to buy either 18's or 19's but it sucks when you don't know what questions to ask.

Thanks for all the help,

Les

Thanks for the info. Why didn't they use a wider back wheel considering that the tire itself is wider in the back?

Also, since the wheels are all the same size, why can't they be rotated? I know that the order numbers are different depending on whether it is the front or the back.

With the OEM 19's, are the rear wheels a little wider?

Thanks,

Les

The 19" wheels are 0.5 in wider in the rear. The 18s can't be rotated normally because the rear tires are different sizes than the front. You can't do front to back or back to front. Only side to side which is obviously not as desirable.
