I like many others went with anthracite. My other choice would've been satin black, hoping someone posts a pic of the black ones installed on the M2, would love to see it!

I'll be monster trucking this winter. Rocking 255/35r19 square blizzaks on the stock wheels. I want to refinish the stock wheels anyways. Plus couldn't pass up a set of 4 brand new 19" blizzaks for $850.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing! Where did you find such an awesome deal on the Blizzak's?

Nice call! They do have 265/35R19 for the rear at $222 so I could grab 2 of those for the rear. They don't have any 255/35R19s so I'll need to scour other sites to see if I can find those for the fronts.

I have the exact same setup - Apex ec-7 except for my winter went with the xice3 instead of the alpin4. I went with the satin black on my bsm. looks killer imo

I'll do my best to upload some pics. It'll be secondary priority though because I'll be driving that bitch.

The biggest difference is in handling feel and performance. I had normal non-performance blizzaks (and down an inch from stock) and they made my car handle and feel like a minivan. It was floaty and boaty and I hated every second of it. I swapped them out for PA4's on stock sized rims and it was night and day. They feel as close to summer tires as you can get for having great cold weather performance. To me, since we don't get much snow, they're the best way to go. |

Spacers?? Would the 245's be ok at a 45 aspect? How much room you got in there?

Not sure if they would be, I've got them at 40. 245/40-18 square set-up. I don't currently have them on yet, will be putting them on end of October or mid-November so I can't tell you about the space

Why not just go with the Blizzak 255x40-18 tire.. Will be closer to the OE diameter and should work.

I'd suggest 225/45R18. Not quite as close as 255/40R18, but better in a couple ways. Narrower tread face = better grip and better "cutting" through deeper snow. The 45 aspect ratio also gives you more sidewall for comfort/protection over the potholes. You'd ideally want to run that on an 18x8. Many tire options available in this size too, and they tend to be a little cheaper than a 255/40.
