Tire's on 18inch sport rims
would this size tire fit on all four of the sport rims?
Ecsta SPT ... size 245/45R18
Basically... wondering if all 4 of the rims are same size..cause i noticed the stock is tires are different size front and back...

The wheels are staggered like i said... meaning that the front rim is smaller in width than the rear. I'm pretty sure its 8/8.5"... You can rotate the tire but you'll have to have them demounted and moved on the wheels, unless you get 2 new wheels that are the same size as the other 2.

They will fit fine. 245/45/18 will fit on rim width range of 7.5 in. to 9 in. (front rim is 7.5 wide and the back rim is 8.5 wide). I personally wanted to retain some stagger so I put 245/45 on the front and 255/45 on the back.

I know they will fit but it will effect the tires diameter when you put the same size tire on two different width rims. I don't know how much the diameter will change but I know in my case, with an X that I wanted all tire diameters to be the same so the dealer replaced the 8.5" rears with 7.5" rims and the same tire size front and back. If he could have gotten away with just changing the tire he would have done that as it would have cost him less money.
