Thanks for the link!
The rears are Extensa type 275/40R18. Looks like they also have the
front size 245/45R18, at least what's on there now. They have several
sizes. Same front size is $174 from Discount Tire Direct, $173 from El
Mercado de Wal with free shipping, not too bad I guess.

06CL500. I will have to pull them off to see what they actually are.
They are 18" and might be 8.5" or 9.5" or both if staggered. The rears
"look" wider than the front, 275/40R18 tires, the fronts have 245/45R18
so maybe
Nice!
Yes, they are probably factory wheels, as there were several models in that
time period that had staggered wheels. Different widths, different profiles as
well. It does make a difference in how the car handles, for sure.
