Default Question about staggered rim/wheels?
Are the OEM rims/ wheels in the front and rear all the same size and only the tires are larger in rear?
Meaning are the rims interchangeable?

^To add to that, there is a slight difference in offset I believe in the fronts and rears. This is regarding the factory 18s BTW, not the 17s.

Thanks for the replies. The reason I ask is when looking for a replacment rim all of the listings just say 17". Hard to tell just by looking at ad if it's a front or rear wheel eh.

17's are staggered tires, same wheels.
18's are staggered tires and wheels.

Yes, of course Jeff is right. I assumed 18" wheels. When asking a question on any forum, please try to be as specific as possible.
