"Square" winter setup ok?

[jcheun4]

I'm looking into getting a winter set of 19"s w/ blizz's from Tirerack. Interestingly, the rims that they recommend have a 15mm offset on all 4. Now, that's pretty close to 12mm and 17mm stock offsets...so I'm assuming the +15mm all around are ok?

the 18's I think were 20mm all around?? I know many members run those and they're ok?

thanks.

Member m630 has a really nice photo of his winter setup (the 184 wheels Clyde mentioned) here:

I am assuming that the wheels are not wider then 9½", if so 15mm offset would be perfectly fine.

Im currently running 9½" rears with 0 offset (15mm spacer and 15mm offset 9½" with 285/30/20 tires). That will rub with a loaded car at heavy bumps at speed, but never otherwise (not even while power sliding).

if you go with the m184 18"s, you will not need offsets as they are setup for the M6, they also allow a bit taller of a tire to aid in the traction vs 19"s


....here are a few other angles, let me know if anyone wants to see any additonal views...
