I posted this in the wheels section but I figure I'll have more luck here with some additional info.

I'm looking at getting some winter wheels/tires for my future '19 1LE. I would prefer to go to 18/19 inch wheels to keep the winter tire cost down and to run a square setup.

Can anyone confirm that 5th gen 18" wheels will fit on a '19 1LE? I'm now specifically looking at an OEM 2015 LT 18" wheel set. They are 18x7.5, 38mm offset, 5x120 bolt pattern with 235/60/18 Blizzaks.

Thanks

Not sure about 5th but I can assure you that the 6th gen 18" wheels do fit. That's what I run in winter.

Thanks, I've been looking for those but nothing is turning up on my local Craigslist. I really like the look of these 5th gen LT wheels too.

If the wheels don't hit the calipers you should be fine, however the tire size is MASSIVELY LARGER DIAMETER

Can you run winter tires on stock SS 20's

I bought some SS take offs for under $400 shipped

put all seasons on them and daily drive it on that setup when its not summer.

Wow you aren't kidding, I didn't realize how much bigger the tires would be. I appreciate the drawings to visualize it. I'm hoping for some first hand accounts to confirm or deny if the calipers fit with the 18" 5th gen wheels. Right now I'm talking with two people that have 5th gen 18" OEM wheels for sale locally, one with the winter tires that I referenced and one with some old stocks that are probably dry rotted.

I could run stock 6th gen SS wheels, but I figured 18/19s were better for winter tires, provided that they fit. I recall a lot of posters recommending the smaller wheels for winter, maybe just to expand winter tire options/keep costs down? I'm trying to find 6th gen 18" stock wheels because I know they will fit with the six piston Brembos, but I'm not having any luck.

so at the end did you test fit the 18'' on the front corners ?
I am curious to see if it fits because I need a winter set as well

thanks

I actually abandoned the 5th gen wheel idea and found some stock 6th gen 18s. From what I have gathered, the 5th gens probably don't fit but the 6th gens do.

See other post. 18" DO fit.
