Finally put them on. Got some cheap winter tires since these will be my winter setup.
Spec:
Rota P45R 18x9.5 +30 custom 6.5mm spacer up front
Tires are 245 40 18

 

damn thats sick, im thnking about ordering me some of those

any rubbing?

 

Yes there were some rubbing issues, so I removed the splash guards and line-x'd the fender wells. Worked out pretty well.

 

9.5 Wide winters!!! I like my winter setup to be on the skinny side. Your setup definately looks better though.

 

Well I bought them so I mine as well use them, lol

245 is better than 285 in the winter

 

Why not put the snow tires on the stock wheels?

That's what I do. Time Attack's in the summer, BBS's in the winter.

 

looks great, i have the same thing hanging from my rear tow hook too!

 

I dont have stocker anymore, havent had those for a few years now.

 

Don't rationalize, I think it's bad *** that your snow shoes are hotter than most peoples sandals

Scorke

 

Should go with skinnier tires (and rims) for winter, though. Those things look way stretched on those rims. You want some form of protection of your wheel lip, especially in the winter when you're more likely to curb them. In addition, skinnier snow tires yield more traction.

 

dually noted, thanks for the reallity check! LOL

 

I think I will manage, our winters anrent nearly as crazy as the ones in Chicago

 

Hey, these winters are fun. We got about 6-8 inches today.

I went out about an hour ago to go to Target and had so much fun playing in this stuff. Pressing the ACD button halfway through a turn (to change it from SNOW to TARMAC) makes for some fun times. Of course, so does just a blip of the throttle, too.

 

They are winter rims, expected to get a little messed up. Pretty good winter rims i might add.
