Default Will these aftermarket rims fit my OEM size tires?

I am looking to buy new rims for my crossfire. I have the OEM 18/19 inch tire, and i am concerned with fitment.

Will i have any trouble with fitting an 18x8 inch rim on the oem front tire, and a 19x8.5 or 19x10 inch from on the oem back tire? Will they fit on the tire and everything fine. Hope to hear back with some advice, i will also give link to rims. Thanks!

I'm going through the same process as you, trying to choose new wheesl that fit my existing tires - and car. My first step was to look up the specs on my tires. I went to the TireRack website, looked up my tires and in the "specs" tab it listed the "rim width range". My 18" Continental Extreme Contact DWS fit rims from 7.5-9". The 19s fit 8.5-10". Your tires may have different specs.

Another helpful site is: Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com It allows you to enter the specs for your factory wheels and the new wheels to see how they compare. You'll even see how varying the wheel width effects tire height and speedometer reading.

My problem is finding wheels that I like that come in both 18" and 19" sizes with the correct bolt pattern and offset. There are VERY few that come close to matching factory specs. My Continentals are still quite new so I don't feel like dropping extra cash for new tire sizes just to get rims I like. At this point I'm looking at needing spacers for my rear wheels to get the wheels I really like. Its too bad there aren't more choices for our cars. I see so many wheels that would look awesome on the Crossfire, but they won't fit.

I looked at the link showing your rims and I see they are listed on the fitment chart. I've found some wheels on websites that say they fit, but the offset is different - usually for the rear wheels. I'd suggest you see if you can find what the offsets are. Factory is: +35mm for front, and +22mm for rear. Nice looking wheels by the way - hope they work for you.

The stock tires will fit an 8.5" front and a 10" rear. They'll be a little stretched, but that's not too big a deal.
As suggested above, it is the offsets that are key to the fitment. I wouldn't trust the "Fitment" page. Find out what offsets they have in 5x112, we'll go from there.
