Two sets of 261Ms?

Groundzero · 11-19-2011, 06:03 PM

I'm wondering if running two sets of the 261M wheels would be viable. Use the four 18x8.5s all around with a 235/255 tire setup in the summer, and the four 18x7.5s with 225s for winter. Has anyone tried this?

I'm thinking a spacer might be needed since the 8.5s are ET52 to clear the front strut, but other than that it should work.

Thoughts?

Rears don't fit the front.
