I don't want to go 265 in the rear cuz a narrower tire is better in the snow. Just want to make sure the tires won't be stretched on the zcp.
I would get some used OEM 18's for winter use. Otherwise I would run OEM tire sizes or 255/35/19 and 265/35/19 or 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 on ZCP wheels. Remember that narrower tires will be shorter with less side-wall (assuming same aspect ratio). I prefer a little extra sidewall, especially in the winter. The problem is zcp's are wide... Stretching tires leaves the wheels more exposed for damage.
