These RS6 Hartmann's look like a nice choice in the 20s. Anything to keep me from buying 22s with summer tires and using the 21s with Scorpions in the winter, aka, lighting money on fire.

As promised after I put the winter combo on, I would post a couple of pics. I did have to take 2 of the wheels to the tire shop for some re-balancing due the location of where the tape weights were placed. They rubbed on the caliper. Not a big deal, but annoying nonetheless.

Would love to see some additional pictures from the side on these. I'm still debating if we really need a winter set, but my wife's work will have her go over the pass from Seattle at random notice 1-3 times in the winter.

I swapped in my winter wheels yesterday and could not get my spacers off (for OEM wheels). So I said F'it and threw my ET25 winter wheels on with spacers 10mm front, 20mm rear. I am effectively running ET15 front, ET5 rear with OEM size 255/50/19 tires and it totally works. lol! I'll get pics up tomorrow.

Did you use anti seize? Just wondering because im about to purchase some spacers for my stock 21" wheels. I might keep spacers on for my winter setup if its safe...

Here are a bunch of pics at different angles. Sorry about the photo overload but unless you get multiples it's pretty hard to view spacer changes. There is a little poke but not bad and of course depends on what angle you view from. It's pretty aggressive looking and honestly looks great in the rear. And yes, my SQ is MUDDY. I did a little light off-roading to 4500 feet altitude on tuesday before I hit pure ice, almost slid off the mountain, and had to put my tail between my legs.
Wheels are Hartmann 19x8.5, tires are Pirelli Scorpion Winter 255/50/19.
Go here for more pics including OEM 20s with spacers and the same winter setup without spacers (clean photos).
