you need to really check into this because i know the 07 and 08s have higer compression so maybe bigger pistons

High compression does not equal "bigger" piston. You can change the compression in the design of the piston and retain the stock bore size.

To the OP, I am assuming you are trying to replace the stock rings? If so, here is a link to one vendor.
