Question rim size for touring?

Anyone knows what is the size of the rims that come with the touring 6-speed model?

Is it 18x8 for all 4 rims? Or are the rear rims wider?

I think it's the same for all 4 rims but the tires are wider in the back.

Please respond only if you're 100% certain.

Thanks!

damn I probably shouldnt respond since Im not 100% certain, but I KNOW that they are all 18" and I am 99% sure they are 8.5 front and 9.5 back. Im even more certain that they are different widths, but the exact numbers are not for sure.

Default according to literature........

According to some of the promotional literature that I received, it says for wheels and tires:

WHEELS
17" X 7.5" (front)/8.0" (rear) 7-spoke aluminum-alloy for AT
18" x 8.0" (front)/8.0" (rear) 6-spoke aluminum-alloy for MT

TIRES
P225/50WR17 (front) and P235/50WR17 (rear) for AT
P225/45WR18 (front) and P245/45WR18 (rear) for MT

However, this is only specs listed in a booklet, not on a real car. (I don't have a real car yet........unless you count my 3 Hot Wheels versions. They have smaller wheels, but they do all seem to be the same size if that helps..........)

See ya!

Wayne is the winner with the correct specs. Only the Track has a wider rear wheel.

Ha! Actually, to tell the truth, I had started typing, then daytona350Z must have posted, then I finished and posted. So, even though I started first, by the time I had finished typing though all of the alpha-numerics, he had already beat me to this! I just didn't know it until I posted, too.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good evening. Let's team up on another one!
