Winters on Staggered Setup

Leov · 03-13-2021, 04:18 PM

Have the staggered 19 inch setup. Don't want to go staggered for winters. Thinking of going 225/50/18 all around. Any issues with this? Thx.

You're even better off with 225/55/17 all around. More rubber and less aluminum greatly reduces the chances of pothole damage. A bit late to be thinking about it now, though.

I use my stock square 400Ms for winter. I have blizzaks in slightly taller profile for a touch more sidewall. Odometer is still overstated but not as bad. I'm in Michigan with killer pot holes. No bent wheels yet.
