So I am new to modding, and have decided I want new wheels/tires - I currently have stock 16"s. Here is my question, albeit, it might be dumb: I live in Western PA. I want wheels that I can throw good all seasons on, and not worry about driving in the snow. Can I do that with 18"s, or should I stick with 17"s. Will 17"s really look THAT much different than my stock 16"s??

I have done some research and want a "square set-up".

I am looking at Beyern Mesh, VMR VB3, or m3 style.

BTW..my car is Jet Black.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

If you look at cars on the dealer lot with stock 16's and stock 17's, the difference is clearly visible, even though it's only 1 inch. With that said, you can easily go with 18's and run them year-round (I do). If you're going with a square set up, I would strongly recommend at least 12-15 mm spacers in the rear. If you don't, the wheels will look sunken in the rear and it will kill the look you're going for.

18x8.5 square setups will work with a 235 tire all around. You can always throw on some spacers for those fine adjustments if need be.

We have found that the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S and the Continental DWS has worked great for our customers who experience rain and light snow.
