i live in canada , and I need to buy winter tires for my new car. i need an actual winter tire. not a performance tire. if heard great things about hakka r2's. but someone from a tire wholesalers told me they will not fit. is this true ?

Well you have to figure out if Hakka R2 are sold in appropriate sizes to fit on the 19x9F and 19x10R wheels that we have.

Nokian has the Hakka R2 in 245/35R19, which is the factory size of the front tire. The rear tire is normally a 265/35R19.

You'd be better off buying a cheap set of wheels in 18x8". You should be able to find a set that fits over the front brakes. Then you can run 245/40R18 tires, or 225/45R18 if you want to go narrower (narrower is better for snow, and 225/45R18 is a pretty popular size for winter options and tends to be cheaper than 245/40R18).

I am trying to figure out which tire and wheel package to use. I am trying to square, not stagger. I am trying to get the nokian hakka r3 but not sure what the best options are. Please help.

You can get fronts from Nokian, but not the rears. I asked and I am running WR A4's I believe now...

They offered me the R2's for the front when we do some snow drifting.

255/35/19 will fit on stock rear rims, that's what I have on, it's a little bit stretched but works perfectly, I believe the r3 comes in that size

I have the 255's on the rear as well, but normal WR A4's.
