Do you have the competition package? I am curious if that would cause rubbing with the 9.5" up front...

Super Nova · 10-15-2012, 03:08 PM

I do have the competition package. No rubbing!

I have 10" 19's up front and don't rub. Just an FYI.

OP, looks good!

Oh I see. Yeah the wheel gaps are big but with the competition package and the stock 19"s...it's better. These 18"s are my snow setup so I'm okay with a gap. Especially since with EDC I'm not gonna put on a lower suspension or springs.

Super Nova · 10-15-2012, 08:31 PM

See? That wheel gap's not bad!

How are the Blizzaks in normal driving, not snow or ice?

They're as good as any snow tire I've had. Little knobby feeling but decent.

You're right, that looks great!

255 is kinda wide for snows isn't it?

Indeed it's a bit wide... But I wanted to find a setup that would satisfy these parameters:

1.) Square setup so I could rotate

2.) Bolt on wheels without spacers needed

3.) Wheels I could use for track tires in the spring/summer

255s are a bit wide but anything skinnier wouldn't have fit.

Nice.

Nah... that's fine, I ran 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 last winter - no issues.

SpeedyM3 · 10-17-2012, 10:56 PM

is it $900 for each rim? Or does quality of "1" mean set of 4?
