Default Will 18" rims fit?

Will 18" rims fit without doing any shaving/modding?

yes, 18" rims will fit easily, I have them on my car. I've been thinking about getting 19" rims.

my current tires are 225/50/16 all around

my front ones are almost perfect. back ones are bad, from "playing around" too much.

if i kept my stock rims & front tires . . . what size would i need in the rear to go a little wider? 225/60/16?

i'm still trying to understand the numbers and what will and won't fit

I'm trying to get that kind of look. Except it looks like it's almost rubbing the back wheel wall. Those are 18" but I want that wide tire look. Either on my stock 16" or those 18" if I buy them.

225 is the width so if you want a wider tire go with a 235

Would 245 be too wide?

On discount tire there is 235/55/16 and 245/50/16. What's the difference between 50 & 55?
