Winter Tire Help!
 

Winters in chicago can be a huge pain in the a$$ so I'm looking to get a dedicated wheel+tire setup for the winters. I already saw Ak370's setup and I might go that route, but I honestly hate those wheels.

So... I did a little ebay searching and I came across these:

18" Rota Wheels 18x9 G-Force HB 370Z G37 EVO 8 9 X STI: eBay Motors (item 300423406153 end time Sep-28-10 16:14:24 PDT)

*i know, i know.... knock-off rotas.... but i'm not looking to spend big $

Does anyone know if I can mount 225/50R18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 all around on these 18x9 wheels, and do you all think the wheels will clear the akebono sport pkg brakes?

Any help is truly appreciated!

I got this you can have for the same price, no knock off, 18x9.5.

On a serious note, 18" should fit. I have exactly 5mm clearance between my wheel weights and the caliper.

Judging by the amount that the mounting point is offset from the spokes, I'd think those would work fine. Seems kinda pricey for winter wheels though.

thanks for the replies... currently talking to chris@wheelsdirectonline about a set of drag dr31 with tires. I figure i'm just gonna go with those and call it a day, and not spend a fortune.
