Oem 18 question

So I learned that the oem 18" wheels are all 18x8. I thought that the rear set was wider because they came stock with wider tires.. However, I am wondering, to those who choose to remain with the stock 18's, does anyone rock all same width tires or do you continue to rock the staggered setup

....or am I completely wrong about the oem wheel width?

Just wanna hear some members thoughts

Thanks

They are 18x8 all around.. I've seen a guy run 225/45 (the front size tire) on all 4 and it looked horrible in the rear.. Tires looked way to small.. Why not just keep the stagger??

U can always flip them.. As long as your alignment specs are good u will get your moneys worth out of the tires.. If u do run a square setup I'd go with the bigger 245/45..

Right in, well it's good to know for sure that the wheels are all 18x8 for sure, when I bought the car I thought they were larger in the rear

Which 18s are you referring to? I was rolling on 265/55 on the rears, 245/45. That might be a bit wide for the fronts, but it fits.

I like the stk look too! I have the same in 17in. I have an X so I have to run non staggered. They are the best looking stk wheels I think!

Not much tire size wise you can do with the oe 18's other than run a 245 up front.
