Winter Setups

FlyByGTI

I think I've settled on going with a square setup all around (seems like I can get 225/50/18 to work)

Do you think that these wheels will clear the sport brakes:

Or

Wheel Details - Discount Tire Direct
(what concerns me about this is that they are 18 x 7" so I don't know if they will clear)

Trust me it's upsetting me too. I'm just trying to plan ahead because if I can get all of the things figured out and know what price point I'm at then I may pull the trigger on an exhaust early next week

There's always a secondary reason to everything

I figure an exhaust of any caliber that is not some ebay cheap P.O.S. will survive. I mean my exhaust on my GTI survive with no problems for multiple winters.

FPenvy

yea always good to plan ahead i guess. at least you'll be driving yours in the winter lol

Yeah I figure if the care can't handle being driven all year round (just like driving spiritedly) then I shouldn't have bought it.

I don't mind an occasional rinse session during the winter just not improper tires.

I'm debating if I want to wait until spring to buy the exhaust or just go for it now. Decisions decisions.

i just dont like having it out in winter due to the salt and cinders dropped when it snows. my car sits basically november-april weather pending.

Makes sense. If I had funds or space for a second vehicle I'd probably have one. This will likely be a one car setup for maybe 2 years or so.
