I have 18x9's all the way around so I can rotate them with the BFG G-Force T/A KDWS 235/50ZR/18's. I bought these stock tires again and they work great!

If I recall correctly, the stock 18" wheels are 18x8.5" with 50mm offset, 5x114.3 bolt pattern and they weigh 25 lbs each.

I have 19x8.5s with 275s all the way around. Slight tire bulge but more grip. They came with 255s which fit perfectly. The 245s might be to narrow increasing curb rash. Good looking wheel, similar to what Im looking at for my next set.

Why go from the stock wheels? I love the look of the 18 Bullitt missed opportunity to buy a couple sets.
