I don't want to start with different offsets for the rear since this will kill my ability to rotate the tires (want to get the most life out of the winter rubber). Looks like I'll have to investigate spacers.

It's a balmy 60F tonight and the tires were moaning and groaning all the way home. The winter tires are really soft when it's this warm. Hopefully it cools off quickly before I burn off all the rubber! I'm driving like a grandma now.

To my surprise after taking off the summer wheels/tires, I had a nail in EACH of my rear tires. Those wide tires are just $hit magnets.

A crappy iPhone pic is included below, taken in the dying afternoon light. More pics from my DSLR to come tomorrow.
Very nice man. check out my thread: My Winter Rims/Tires Setup: TRMotorsport C2 + Blizzak LM-25 w/TPMS w/pics (AK370Z)
