I've got a lead on some Blizzak snow tires. The wheels are universal bolt pattern Drag Brand, DR-11, 18". My concern is the 4 tires that come on them are 235/50R18. Is that gonna cause some rubbing or other problems? I know the staggered size is ideal but these will probably be on for about 2 or 3 months of the year, and they don't need to be pretty. Worth the purchase or pass? thanks!

What are the offsets on the wheels? Most issues are people clearing brakes because of the design but with base brakes, almost any wheel clears. Most people run square setup for their winter set up with spacers in the rear to make it not look so weird. If you dont car how it looks, then spacers arent necessary.

SIZE: 18x7.5
BOLT PATTERNS: (4 x 100/114.3)(5 x 100/114.3)
OFFSET: 42mm / 45mm
LIP MEASUREMENT: 1.75"

My guess is the wheels will clear the base calipers, its the 235/50/18 tire with that tall sidewall that I'm worried will rub potentially. Any idea?

Sidewall is not a concern as long as youre at stock height. I think your bigger concern is clearing the brakes at that high of an offset with that skinny of a wheel. Nothing spacers couldnt fix though.
