are all wheels same size for rwd ?

Hello. my 435 RWD has 19" 442m style wheels and I want to change to 18"
probably I'll go for 400style but I want to know front and rear wheels should be different sizes right? because some of sellers say that there's no problem to use all same sizes tires even on rear wheel drive car. I'm confused... need help to know reality.

You can have all same sizes, commonly known as a square set up. Many people here including myself favor a 18" square setup. Staggered wheels are not a requirement for RWD.

With a small note to be careful with wheel offsets, widths, etc, otherwise you can run into fitment issues.
