Help! Got a flat

I just got a flat on my stock 2003 6MT 18" front tire. I also have the brembos.

I searched the forum and some say the front size are 225/50/18 and others are saying it's 225/45/18. Which one is it?

Also does anyone know the exact brand of the stock tires?

I want to buy two used front tires or possibly just one used front tire. Let me know if you guys have any.

Thanks for any info.

Look on your tire sidewall and see what the size and make is. I believe your fronts should be 225/45/18, but like I said check it out.

thanks everyone.

i didn't notice I had a flat until I got home. I drove about 5 miles with it flat. Is it ok to keep it parked in the garaged with the flat until the weekend, or should I put the spare tire on?

^^^if you're not going to repair the flat, then it really doesnt make any difference what happens to the tire.
