You will get better traction in the snow with 18" wheels and running a 265 instead of a 295 or 305 in the rears...nice looking car BTW

Yeah, I know....but I like the look of the 19s....Since I bought these 19 turbo wheels from Bonehead and have the stock 19s on my car, I am committed to running on 19s. I plan on 295 winter tires as a result on the rear. Just trying to figure out which wheels to use for summer. My Stock wheels are in perfect shape.

For those of you interested, Here is a pic of my car with the Winter Tires on the wheels I bought from Bonehead. I've always liked the turbo wheels...particularily since the paint matches my car. Turned out nice and finally I can try the car in low temps and snow. In a couple of weeks I am back to my summer rims. Once again...thanks Bonehead (btw, I like your new wheels)
