I am about to order my winter setup. I called tire rack and they said to use 225/50/17 and 225/55/17 setup. But I thought its best to keep a staggered setup so I wanted to do 215/55/17 and 225/55/17. What would be better for my coupe ? I currently have the 18s on. Also I am looking to put this rubber on the Moda R6 rims what do you guys think about those ? What should I as for as far as the offset? I will be using Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 for the rubber.

I don't know the answers to a lot of your questions, but I'll try... I think the same width on front/rear is just fine. Others have reported absolutley no problems. And those sizes do indeed match up nicely with the diameters of the stock wheels.

Those rims are pretty damn nice looking I think..

Also the blizzak WS-50's have bad tread wear rating just to tell you.

Supposedly they melt MUCH quicker than most winter tires when the ground isn't freezing and isn't covered in snow.

Twlight blue/Willow 6mt on order. Options: Sunroof.

 

Thanx I am not too much concerned with the thread life. I f I can get 2 winters out of 1 set ill be happy. I want the best winter traction possible.
