Default My Winter "Truck" mode
So here is my setup for the crappy weather coming. Thought I'd give you all a laugh at the wheel gap. Amazing the difference between these 18's and my 19" peelers.

I think I need to order up some spacers this afternoon...

ENJOY

Looks exactly like my setup, which I HAVE NOT MOUNTED YET, BUT IT SNOWED TODAY! Modas and Blizzaks from Tire Rack, right?

Doh! Stupid global warming....

You betcha. Honestly I got the idea from you. I had the blizzaks from my 335 so it was a no brainer for the $110 wheels. They look acceptable but damn I need some spacers

You will appreciate that wheel gap when it's filled with snow and ice and you can still steer your car because of the room in the wheel well.

This snow in October SUCKS !!!!

That ET 45 offset will help reduce road spray on the side of your car... But you are right, they look like they need spacers!

Looks a little bit like my set up...and my car.

I've got 225/45 Xi2s, but mine doesn't look as tucked as yours. I think they are +35.
