    from snow tires to summer

    It was time already to change rims and tires on my 05 sport.

    18x8 fronts with 245/55-18
    18x10 rears with 285/50-18

    Ive been running this summer set up for 2 summers now. Hopefully next year I'll manage to get some 20's and use these 18's for winter with snows.

    Also gave the car a nice quick polish and wax. Will give it a better detail next month.

    What you guys think?

    from 17's snows:

    That 285/50-18 really fills the wheel well. What tire is that? I'm not finding anything in that size but truck/suv tires, and very few of those.

    I think the rears look great with the Pirelli 18's. Good job on the tire hunt!

    I looked off/on for a month before getting Firehawk 245 55 18's (4)

    How do you like the Firehawks? Have you driven in snow with them?
