Through a TireRack buy: I drop in 4 Enkei F10 18x8 to replace the stock 19" Rays, swapping the summer 275/305 set with 225/50R18 in front and 255/45R18 Blizzak in rear for winter.

Love it. Fits Sport brakes and helps with extra sidewall for pothole season. I only use spacers in the winter because the rear will look odd without it due to the rear stock wheels extreme offset compared to basic replacement wheels. So, I put 30mm H&R's on in back for the winter set up. For you I would just take out the front 25mm ones and suffer through it.

Happy sledding!
Thanks, that is great. As the other posts have been. I've been looking at the Enkei TS-10 18x8.5 but why did you put different size tires on the same size wheels? What is the benefit of the wider tire in the rear?
