Our experience shows us that a 210/50-17 will fit in back, so your 200/50-18 should work as well. Check installed tire dimension specs for whatever rubber you'll run back there to be sure, as things are gonna be close.

No, that wouldn't be a direct fit

It's a 99-earlier wheel
- Taper roller wheel bearings
- Smaller pulley/rotor locators on hub
- Narrower hub

A person could make it fit, but you would have to "work" at it

That may work...if you can't get an "application" then...

I would get a few measurements from your existing wheel...

- mounting surface-to-mounting surface (rotor and pulley)
- outside bearing-to-bearing
- wheel offset (2 different center-lines)
