There site is wrong, they are 18 front and 32 rear!

Tyres are correct, I guess you could have either size you prefer though?

You tell us!

I'm the OEM guy all the way.

Well Avon ZZ3 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear is what they had in stock. I could have chosen front 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 rear but not in the Avon's, so I went with the slightly thinner width. Nothing stopping you fitting 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 OEM fitment to the rims though.

....are M172 reps but I can't tell the difference and all this garbage about rep wheels vibrating etc. which I was concerned about is to me utter crap.

Cant say Ive been told that about reps vibrating etc - but the real difference is the weight of the wheel, reps are heavier than the originals. Which ultimately affects your unsprung weight. That may/may not be important to you. There's a database somewhere out there on tinternet which shows oe vs rep wheel weights.
