Looks awesome. I actually really dig 18s on your car. You should've went for smaller tires/more stretch though and maybe a little less offset or low. I mean, shit, the narrower the tires the better peformance so why not? Then again, I have no idea about tires sizes for 18" snows.

ummm, size options for snow tires are limited compared to summers/all-seasons and the rears have 40mm spacing on 10s now. In that pic body is sitting on sidewall.

I've heard people argue these things for summer tires, too. Isn't this site more catered to the wide wheel, low offset (in my case 40mm spacing) and stretched tires thing?

I'm not arguing, just wondering why for snow a setup like this is used. IMO, I'd be looking for more grip than looks with snowy, below freezing temperatures and conditions. I've been caught in a few blizzards with my 235/45 tires and it was really bad traction-wise compared to my steelies with a 215/60 R15 tire. I'm not saying don't keep the look, but it's just more hazardous with such a wide tire that's just for winter use.

Hence why I said I don't know anything about snow tire size selection and with more stretch comes more low/less offset. I didn't say it doesn't look on point as is.

I hear ya. I **** the look of the fronts - as I'm so used to stretch that square sidewalls just look wrong. At least these have amazing snow and ice traction (otherwise we would be under house arrest in the current North Seattle area road conditions).

your winter setup > your summer setup

[BeemerBuyer]

I like your winter set up way more. Its really fucking clean! Nice jag.

Just curious, why such a wide rim for the snow? The car would bite a shitload better with a 18x7 rim all around with a 215/40 tire.

I think you are on the wrong forum.

umm... yes, yes we are.

Confirmed. You are on the wrong forum.
