18 x 8.0 for Winter Rims
 
I looked through the forum, tirerack and googled it, but can't get a straight answer. Can anyone confirm 18 x 8.0 work for winter rims on a MR?

mr or not its the same caliper size ,

but if the offset is good to clear your caliper it should be ok ...

I have 18x8 for my winter setup with +35 offset you're safe! Rims are narrower but for snow tires, I don't care.

Does it change the rider quality at all with narrow tires/wheels?

Kind of.

A narrower wheel is less contact area with the ground, so bumps arent quite as painful.. but then the fact you probably got snow tires on there negates it.. my Blizzaks ride quality aint the greatest. I paired them with 18x9 Rotas and they are pretty harsh .. made worse if you have a stiff suspension.

Yes they work. My Local Toronto Lancer / EVO car club uses it.

no need for spacers. If you need wheels, we are in Canada so shipping isnt that bad and the price is pretty good. PM me.
