Can somebody let me know what the actual width of the immage wheels are front and back please
thinking of going for a slightly narrower set, as the tyres are becoming hard to get hold of, for the rear anyway, at 335/30/R18
thanks

If I remember correctly, the standard wheels are 13.5"R and 9"F

I agree that getting a set the same day is not easy but my tyre supplier was able to get mine (Khumo) within a week.

I suspect that as most supercar manufacturers are going for larger diameter wheels these days, there is less demand for 18" tyres at our widths.

Perhaps time to buy a couple of sets and put them in bin liners in a dark shed.

I buy my tires from TireRack these days. I am in Melbourne Australia and it's cheaper for me to buy rubber from the US and pay air freight (3 days FYI) than it is to buy locally.

or if you want something more narrow, go for these

315/30/18: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.js...

they'll all fit on the wheels.

If you're buying into Australia, ship a pair at a time to avoid duty and GST.
