Stock 2008 Rim Size

Hi all. Just a quick question. I've read that in 2008 the stock rim size on the sport was 18 inches. I've read that in a few different places. Looking at my tires yesterday, apparently they're 19's? Also looking to get a cheap set of rims for snow tires coming up. Anyone have a cheap brand they go with just for the winter months? Pretty set on getting blizzaks, is it alright to fit 18's for the winter instead of 19's? Thanks for reading.

Just need to be sure they clear the big front calipers. Enkei RPF1s do, and they're light and not too expensive.

Stock rims are 19's. A decent amount of 18's won't clear the Akebono's, so make sure they fit. Also, you can use 18" snow tires just fine, but only on 18" rims and vice versa.

Thanks man, I'll look into those. I'm getting a free set of Michelin Alpine snow tires. They are 245/45/18s..should I have any issues fitting those?
