Default Wheel width

I know that the stock rear tires are lightly wider than the front ones. What about the rims? Are they the same width all around or not? If I want new rims, but want to keep the same size 18, can I just buy 4 rims of the same size?

Thanks.

if i'm not wrong the 18's are staggered fitment... 18x8 and 18x8.5.... it is recommended to get a staggered fitment again for handling purposes..... though before this you might wanna consider going 19.... it is still okay for a bumpy road... it really won't damage it that quickly and that badly.. i'm in Indiana.. using 19s... i'm fine with that...

So, are your 19s staggered? Or did you go with the same size all around? As far as going to 19s, I am thinking about the other direction, switching to 17s instead. I am old, so I don't mind sacrificing some looks for a softer ride.
