I have (4) 17 x 7 aftermarket LXSport Wheels. Can anyone recommend an all-season tire brand(s) including staggered and non-staggered sizes? I want to store the 18's now but don't expect to garage the car until late January. Appreciate any and all suggestions.

those look like pre 03 sport wheels, which are the wrong offset and will stick out beyond fender. where did you get them?

Per your previous posts indicating a 2004 Marauder...these are the wrong offset as RCR said.

If your wheel bolt pattern & back space work tire rack has some good buys. I also store my 18. Then switch to 16" for the winter months. I spend a lot of time in Vermont & Maine during the winter months. Put snows in all four corners. Just bought BF Goodrich Blizzak DMV2 front 215/65/16 rear 225/70/16. Had them shipped to Midas & installed.

Yeah, I had all four plus 1.5" hub-centric spacers on my 2000 GM. If possible, I was hoping to put the 17" rims to some temporary use on the Marauder. I really didn't wanna subject the MM rims to the winter season. I guess plan "B" is some steelies. Thanks for the feedback - it's appreciated!!

pre 03 wheels would not need a spacer on pre 03 cars. You seem to have some misinformation or understanding. measure the front spacing...mounting surface to front of rim edge and do the same on marauder wheel. it's not exact but close enough to see
