Seems to be a good start to the discussion.
Many (most?) of us running snow tire set-ups for winter, are running the front 19x9.5 (with 275/35 19 tires) all around.
I suspect that the more G8x cars get tracked, the more we'll start seeing square 19 (and even square 18) set-ups for track duty.
I've also seen some folks running square 20s, and the 21/20 staggered set-up you mention above. The bigger rims look great, although I happen to think a chunky sidewall (35 or even 40 aspect ratio) looks good too, with the right wheel. |
Thanks! You've given me something to do the rest of the night.
I feel like I am going to know so much about this M3 when I get it, but I'm sure it will just be the starting point.
EDIT: I read that thread, thanks for the link! It does answer the question. Case closed it seems for OEM 19/20. But for winter tires the sheer pucker factor of turn in might not matter as much (i.e., 19/19 or even 18/18 for larger sidewall). I have been using Michelin Xi3 tires for the past several winters on my WRX and they are definitely not a precise turning tire, and I tend to baby them to not burn them up on dry pavement.
