Are the wheels all the same width?
I have the stock 18 amg wheels on my c350 sport with the staggered setup.
My tire size is 225/40-18 Front, and 255/35-18 back.
I bought 4 225/40-18 Conti Winter Contacts for the winter season. I had pep boys install the tires today. Tire rack said that I can use this fitment as long as I use an XL tire. Which they are.
So here is my question- Are the rims all the same width? If not, does this mean pep boys could have mixed up the fronts with the backs? I called them after the fact and asked them and they said no, the wheels were all the same size but im pretty sure they may be wrong. Isnt the back wider than the front? Therefore the rear wheels could possibly be installed in the front?
VERY CONFUSED! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so im pretty sure the front is 8 wide and the back 8.5. How would I be able to tell which is which? Is it labelled somewhere on the rim?
