Consensus on 18" Wheels on a 4.6is?

Thank you. That's why I thought they should work. My door jam says it will take a 255 55 R18 tire and 8J X 18 which I assume is a rim. So I assume an 8.5" wide 18" rim will not work. I'm finding a lot of those for sale.

The ineresting thing to me is that my door shows the 8j X 18, a 9 1/2J X 20, a 10 1/2j X 20, but the only 19 looks like it is for a spare - a 5j X 19.

I would think that if an 8X18 would work, there must be some 19 that will work too.

What is the best way to find all the wheel specs for an e53 wheel. If I try to use tire rack, they only show a 20" staggered set up for this car, and since it has the bigger brakes, I wouldn't think just plugging in 4.4i would give me the right answer. For example, the 4.4i shows an 8.5 X 18 rather than an 8 X 18.
