Okay I know i have to purchase new tires and wheels. What I'm wondering is since I only want them for the snow does it matter what type of wheels I get? Can I just buy the cheapest ones off ebay? like these?

I know they are ugly but they are only a few hundred dollars. Do the wheels really matter? Or can I get buy with those and get decent tires on them?

 

so long as the offsets will work and they fit over ur 'brembos' if ur so equipped than you should be good to go. i see they are 5x114.3 which is the correct bolt pattern.

 

Cool, I don't have the brembros. got an 05. How do I find out what the offset is on the 05?

 

i dont believe you have to have a specific offset (but you'll have to stay within a range to avoid rubbing), but depending on the 'type' of look your going for (aggressive of a stance...etc) you'll need to select a offset that suits your needs. deeper lip, rims that sit further out etc etc (check wheel/tire section for some examples since im no wheel expert!!). I currenty have a +23 front on a 19x9 wheel and a +28 rear on a 19x9...about a 1.5-2 inch lip on the front and a 3-3.5'' lip rear. I have Rays G-games wheels.

 

Those rims seem to be a bit narrow and having a 3" lip on something that narrow just doesn't sound right.
