Default 235 ok for the rears?

I'm buying some winter tires - fronts are 225 and rears 235. Will this fit stock 18" OEMs?

yes i am running 245 on my stock 18 oem rears. the biggest i would go is 255. even though some have ran 265. But the sidewall will do a big no no at the width.

oh and believe it or not, the rims have diff widths. I believe one is 8, and the other 8.5...I just went 245 all around so i can rotate them (tire feathering).

You cannot rotate the 06's. They are supposed to be staggered. 225 in the front, 245 in the rear. I'm not sure of the tolerances, but you may have problems with the TCS/VDC if the sizes are not proportional.

I recommend the EOM width plus or minus 20mm.
