what size snow tires are you all running?

i was looking at 235 40 18

but can i go to a smaller 18 on the stock rims?

no...you want rubber on a snow tire. The bigger the better.

If i had a chance to buy new winter wheels i might consider something a bit more meaty just for the extra peace of mind. In particular, the b5s4 17" avus wheels look pretty reasonable on the car.

That said, my 235/40's have been great tires (pirelli wintersport 240's), and i have zero complaints.

Usually recommended to get *skinnier* tires (&lt;235) and smaller wheels (&lt;18")

that is incorrect

4th season on stock size 18" LM25s with no issues.

i think he might have been referring to sidewall size &amp;/or wheel protection...

ruknd

I meant you want more rubber on the side wall as opposed to less...i.e. 18s vs. 19s.

banana s4

that makes more sense
