Default How to check OEM Rays Track Wheel Width?

I'm supposed to receive my wheels today. The seller said all 4 wheels are 18x8.5. I know the OEM sizes are 18x8 FR and 18x8.5 RR, but the seller bought 2 sets and sold all (4) fronts.

Is there a way to confirm all 4 wheels are 8.5 width without dismounting the tires and measuring the actual rim? Does it say somewhere on the rim?

Thanks!

Does it have tires on them? There is a letter on the inside of the wheel where the tires go.

If not, I may say in the center on the backside of the wheel. I think the rears are +33 offset and the fronts are +30 offset. There should be a +33 on the rear wheels on the backside center, at least mine did.

they will all be the same width though. if he thinks he's getting four fronts then yeah, check the stamping. I thought he wanted to make sure he was getting four of the same.

The sizes are stamped in the back -- 18x8 for the front & 18x8 1/2 for the rear.
