1M Winter setup

[MMOTION]

Just ordered some Alufelgen SF-71 for the 1M winter setup.

Front: 19x8.5 ET35 245/35/19 Pirelli Sotto Zero

Rear: 19x9.5 ET 20 265/35/19 Pirelli Sotto Zero

I was searching through various threads on offsets options and how aggressive you can run, i'm now debating whether i should have gone 19x8.5 ET 15 upfront as this should work as well, no?

usually better to go with a square setup for winter

My question is more on aesthetics rather than function. I know square setup would have been more ideal, however I was running oem 313 performance rims last winter but the offsets were hideous and had to run spacers front/rear which i wanted to avoid. I needed to replace the rims since i had the tires already, my question is whether 19x8.5 et15 would have been a better choice aesthetically vs 19x8.5 et35.

I just confirmed my doubts...

Mate, I have a bad feeling about 18x8.5 ET 35. Usually offsets higher than 32 require a spacer to clear the brakes on our cars. It's not catastrophic, you will probably need a 5MM spacer in the front.
