I'd recommend you not follow naidd's example, SoloMaxima. The minimum acceptable rim width for 235/40R18 tires is 8.0". For a discussion of the importance of maintaining proper rim width, read the post on Page 3 of the FAQs entitled "Can I run oversized tires on my stock 17" SE Rims?". Here's a link to Page 3 of the FAQs:

K, you have me concerned...I though I bought 17 X 7.5 and put a 245/45 on it. I am beginning to wonder if
1) The morons at the shop said it was o.k. and I actually bought the story.
2) I actually bought 17 X 8 and forgot....

In theory, can I measure the rim from ID lip to lip? What would be the most scientific way to check if I cannot find my receipt?

Grrrr.
