Nice choice on the wheels, but - which tires are those? Searching for 215/45-18 on tire rack, two choices come up for "Bridgestone Potenza S-02 A" - one is $190 apiece with a 89 load rating, the other is $193 apiece with no load rating listed... but the specs for both come up with a max load of 1279 lbs which appears to equate to the 89 load rating; I'd be surprised if Tire Rack would sell you an inappropriate set, but it seems to be pretty clear that 89 isn't enough for the 6, 91 is minimum...
