Winter Tires on Stock 264 Wheels?

crbalch · 08-02-2015, 10:27 PM

Hey guys looking to get a good non-rft winter tire that will go on Stock 264s. I am not sure what tire or what size to run so I was looking for some help.

Anyone have suggestions? Seen people just run 225/40R18 all around but wanted to ask first...

Thanks!

Yes, using 225/40R18 all around works great and will give you a large selection of winter tires. We are not sure what will be available yet for this winter season. The best time to check back would be late September.

For what tire size? Looking for maximum snow/ice traction?

So if you use a square 225/40R18 winter set up on staggered OEM 264 rims, does it matter which rims are front/back?

yes, you won't want to put the rear rims on the front
