Another tire question, 275/60/18

Thanks Rich,

I think I am going for General Grabber HTS. Good reviews and good price. NTB nearby my place carries them, which is another advantage.

Finally received four of 18" wheels, yeah!

This is a really stupid question and please don't laugh at me but how do I know it's 18" wheel? I mean, I measured it and it came out 19.5"??? I think it's 18" though because my stock wheel came out 20.5" and I know it's 19" wheel. Where should I measure to confirm it's size 18?

Look on the back of the wheel. You should see something like "18 x8j"

18'' diameter by 8'' wide.

Update: It turned out that my dealer carries General brand as well. It's even cheaper than NTB including installation. So, I am going to make this one stop shopping including purchase, installation, and alignment at local dealership. Stay tuned.
