can my 06 stock wheels fit 245/45/18(f) 265/45/18?
245/45/18 front, 265/45/18 rear on stock wheels? I did some research on the forum, but. I couldn't find any I information. I appriciate your help.

That is correct , but for best handling i would run a wider wheel for those rear tires or drop to a 245/45 rear.

As the members point out here, 245/40-18F and 265/40-18R is the ideal size for overall diameter (but 265 on the rear may not be the right width for your OEM wheels).
However, 245/45-18F and 265/45-18R is off by about 2.5% overall diameter (about the same front and rear), so that will work with your car (even if it’s VDC-equipped). You have a 2.5% speedometer error, which is about 1 mph for every 50 mph on the speedometer, so that’s insignificant.
You mention stock wheels, so I would add this caution: If you have 8” wheels, the 265’s will be bulged (and probably past the tire company’s recommendation which is 9” wheels for 265’s). I think you should be fine here, but keep this in mind. (That’s why terrasmak recommends 245/45-18R.)

Its cool. I am conservative and recommend OEM width plus or minus 10 mm. Others may push it a bit farther.
