Judge my winter wheel & tire setup...constructively.

So, I'm from where you are...perhaps a few more miles west. But have a serious desire to drive this buggy everyday. I have a '13 sport with 110,k miles and use 2 sets of wheels/tires to get through the weather here.

Through a TireRack buy: I drop in 4 Enkei F10 18x8 to replace the stock 19" Rays, swapping the summer 275/305 set with 225/50R18 in front and 255/45R18 Blizzak in rear for winter.

Love it. Fits Sport brakes and helps with extra sidewall for pothole season. I only use spacers in the winter because the rear will look odd without it due to the rear stock wheels extreme offset compared to basic replacement wheels. So, I put 30mm H&R's on in back for the winter set up. For you I would just take out the front 25mm ones and suffer through it.

Happy sledding!
