Default tire sizes for stock wheels

What is the wides tires that you can fit on the stock 18s in the front and the rear. I really like the stock wheels and dont wanna change, i wanna upgrade the tires and put wider ones to give it a nice wide stance. anyone know what tires will fit??

255 is the widest I'd go. You can maybe get 265/275, but that's pushing it.

There is a “What's the widest?” thread in the tire forum every week. Please check last weeks.

06 , 245 front and 265 rear, but 265 isnt popular so your stuck with 255.

front

245/40/18 measuring right at 25.70 inches with a min rim width of 6.5 inches and a max. rim width of 9.0


rear


275/40/18 measures at a height of 26.70 with a min rim width of 8.5 and max rim width of 11.0




so with a 245/275 setup your tires have 1 inch height difference front being 25.70 and rear at 26.70 -




i hope this helps, like i said. it works great

Looks good! I've got 20mm F and 25mm R spacers on 06 OEM wheels and it's about time to shop for new rubber.

I'll measure my setup to see if I have room for the additional width. Would you please do the same Militia?

Pretty sure for 18" it's 8.0" front and 8.5" rear. Not sure if any 06+ come with 17" anymore.
