I got a set of Dunlop winters in 245/45R19. I also ordered what I thought was an in-stock set of gunmetal VMR V710s in 19X8.5ET20, which would have moved the wheels 5mm outwards from stock. VMR, being one of the very few decent cast wheel manufacturers that offer oddball offsets, discontinued their +20 offset line in that size; so I ended up having to cancel the order and now I'm stuck with purchasing +35 offset wheels or going full custom. After doing some digging, I found out about Eibach 15mm wheel spacers that should (I hope) fit the car. I'll probably pick up a set of Rotiform SPF wheels in 19x8.5ET35 and use the spacers to get the fit I wanted. I figure high quality spacers like Eibachs won't be an issue on relatively narrow winter tires.

The tires were $954 shipped, the spacers are $236 for all four, and the wheels will be about $250 each... it beats paying $1500+ for the winter Pirellis they have at Tire Rack that fit the stock wheels :/

I'll post a thread with photos and final prices after I have everything mounted, hopefully by the end of next week.

P.S. I have the 6-piston Brembo brake package, so 18s wouldn't fit.
