for the winter i want to run 18" all season(high marks for snow) on all four corners. then for when snow comes zip on two 18" snows in the back. there is too much time when its too cold for the summer tires but theres no snow

I do this for my mustang now and its the ultimate. I took it on a ski trip upstate in the snow belt, no issues, my buddies all took subarus and 4x4s.

I see what you mean and hate that every single thread that can be construed into one of the many subforum categories is moved. This should be in general.

Meh, people will get used to it. Not everything is "General".

Talking about tires and/or wheels? *anything* about them? Go to the proper forum. Winter tires are... "tires", yes?

Otherwise, there would be one forum, General, and everything would be lost in the mud.

There will be more forums coming, I'm sure. people are just getting used to things here.

Cheaper than 20's.

Someone pm fbodygodfather im sure he would not mind getting the info for us.

If I knew where to take mine I would take it and get sized up for you guys. Don't know of anyone that wants to spend the afternoon put their wheels on my car.

He is highlighting that this is a broader issue than just talking about "wheels" and "winter tires", it is a general oversight by GM not providing these numbers and releasing a car to the masses by in large in the december timeframe... effecting everyone who will not be garaging their car that lives in a place where it snows.

Some people don't even go to the subforums. While this technically fits here, it ALSO fits in general.

It fits in general far better and would get more views and responses. Whatever though.

[6spdhyperblue]

yeah that was my point. not a big deal but its really high on the priorities.

outside of actually what to buy/order, and when they are coming, this has to be the top thing we have to get sorted out.

Every day I wake up I seriously check this forum for fitment numbers and don't ever see them. It's looking very bleak to get this timed right, if at all

How much would you want for your stock wheels?

If I can't get the 19" to work with SS, I would be interested in picking up some stock wheels.


I was originally hoping to put same wheels on all 4 corners (get total of 2 sets of same wheels, and use 4 front size on all 4 corners for winter, 4 rear size for all 4 corners for summer).
Looking at the spec of stock wheels, fronts and rears have big difference in offsets.
Do you guys think I can put rear wheels on front? (and front ones on rear?)

Get winter tires for your factory wheels to CYA this winter.

Buy cheaper aftermarket 20's after this gets sorted out later in the season. It's not a major deal IMO. One winter won't kill your new wheels.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that as a moderator, I know how admin wants this website organized better than you do. I also wrote the guide on Camaro5 for what belongs in each sub-forum myself (something which I should also do for Camaro6). Please do not tell me what individual sub-forums are supposed to be used for.

If a topic is about wheels and/or tires it belongs in the Wheels & Tires sub-forum. When people a month or a year, or two years, or 5 years from now wonder about the exact same thing you did I would expect them to try and find the answer here over any other place on the site.

Maybe he should make a general thread about communication with GM, then mention the wheels. Better yet, I'll do it tomorrow.
