It's fine, 18x9.5 is ideal but it's not going to be an issue.

I would have went 18x10.5 all around and just staggered the tire sizing.

Default Go to RimsnTires.com

Spell it exactly RimsnTires.com Use Capital R and T in your typed address. Then go to tools and then Size Comparer. All this will be on the left. I forgot, After you get to the site, go to wheels then the above. Its agreat tool that calculates everything.

Okay so the wheels should work I went to the website Rebe suggested and with the fit ment checker it says I'm okay


For my wheel specs that site says

245/45/18 fronts
And
265/40/18 rear

Is that an idea set up? Do u guys think I could go bigger in the back or just leave it b ?

Some people will suggest a 40 series all around, but a 35 is also fine.

I personally wouldn't go 45 series though, too much sidewall.
