afr0puff, thanks for the post on the ability of the 18"s being capable winter wheels. I know 17's are the recommended size for winter wheels but I found a nice set of 18's that I really like at a good price so this kind of convinced me to go with those wheels.

You guys are doing the complete opposite of what I am about to do. I ran on my 18's for the winter, slapped some Pirelli Winter 210's, and couldn't even go up my driveway let alone drive down the street. Traction was a BIG 0 !!! That convinced me that 18's are not meant for serious snow conditions. Now I am stuck with high priced 18" snow tires and am looking at buying some stock 17" rims. I am willing to work out a deal with anyone that wants some high priced 18" snow tires for some stock 17" rims and some cash. Just can't handle another winter driving on 18's. I am waiting another month or two before I start a post on the ultimate winter tire, I thought the Pirelli Winter 210's were the end all of winter tires, but apparently not. I am even considering studding the 17's, I need some serious traction down here in Montreal, Canada...

 

Did you have to call them to place the order? Cause everytime I try selecting the G35c from the drop down list, it says to call the them due to the unique technical aspects or something.
Thanks!

I live in Westchester county here in NY- about 15 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. Last year I got 17" Sport Edition Fox 5's, with Pirelli P210 Snowsports from tirerack for about $1400- and had NO trouble getting around in my 6M/T last winter. I never expected the traction would be as good as it was.

 

buy my stock 18s as a winter setup. much cheaper than investing in new wheels that you will mess up anyway. 900 wheels and tires.pm me

 

I paid approx. 1400 from tire rack for the 17" ASA K3 rims with Blizzak LM22's - The $2500 price is a mistake. Talk to Dallas at tire rack.

Blitzjib. Thanks for the info. I'll try Tire Rack again. BTW how's the ride on dry pavement at higher speeds with the LM22s?I know some of the snows can be scary harsh at speeds above 70-80.
