OEM 18" wheels are 8" wide with a 50 or 48" offset (I forget which but thats close enough). I believe I read that they weight 25 lbs.

apparently there are 2 different manufacturers for the OEM wheels, so weight seems to vary...but ive heard anything from 21.5-25 pounds. not so sure about wheel with tire, i think ive read high 40's....but don't quote me on that.

stock is 225-45-18, tires (potenzas) are very good on dry, not so great (maybe even terrible) on wet/cold/snow, but it is a SUMMER performance tire, & an expensive one at that. 225 dollars a piece.

look around on the site, all of the information you are looking for has more than likely been discussed again & again. good luck.
