Looking to get 225/40's DWS for year round on all 4 tires, anybody have pictures of what it would look like in the back? should i consider getting spacers?

Why are you considering this?

What size wheels and offset?

^this...entirely depends on the wheel size and offset

Completely forgot to mention that they will be going on my OEM 193m 18's so 8 in front and 8.5 in back I think

So yes you could do it. 225 is a stretched look on an 8.5" wheel and so your front and rears won't look quite the same. Why not consider 235/40?

Rears will be tucked pretty good, spacers would help.

You'll still not have the ideal contact patch on the rears for summer driving.

You could run that size. A 225 on an 8.5 isn't really considered 'stretched', but in comparison to an 8" wide wheel it will look a tad more stretched. 235 on the rear would make the sidewall sit a bit more flush with the face of the wheel.

ok so i can do a 225/ 40 all around. now is that going to hurt the handling? what do u suggest for spacers? on front? back?
