if you are referring to the OP, i have the same wheels. unfortunately, i'm not sure about the offset, but you will need spacers for the rears. i am running 25mm on the rears only (and actually keep them on when i put the stock sports back on in the spring).

edit: offset is 35mm

Complete noobie here. Been driving around in stock summer tires here up in ny, no problems in the cold. I do want to invest in winter tires.... The above mentioned threads provide me where to order the tires.... Problem is... I do not have a garage so what do i buy to jack my car up easily and what do i use to change the tires? (Complete car noobie who is learning)

first post in this thread has great instructions: My Winter Rims/Tires Setup: TRMotorsport C2 + Blizzak LM-25 w/TPMS w/pics (AK370Z)

btw, your car jack is in the trunk next to the spare tire

Ur also going to need an alignment because of the difference in tires. I live in north jersey too and have my winter setup on if u want to see. Shoot me a pm if u want

Buy yourself tire tote bags when your ready to buy your wheels they cost like 20 bucks and they come in pairs. I dont have a garage either so these tire bags make caring my tires up and down stairs much easier. If you plan on using your car as a daily driver in NY snow tires are a great investment for your safety. Not just for snow but for cold weather. My summer tires were like hockey pucks driving in just cold weather.

the difference in tire sizes only change your rolling diameter. it wont throw the alignment out of wack at all because your dimensions are all still the same. only the body will feel closer to the ground with a smaller rolling diameter but your caster, camber, and toe will all remain where they were. The reason some people do alignment when getting new tires is because over the period of having their tires, chances are they've hit pot holes and all kinds of **** that could've thrown it out of alignment!
