Hey guys,it's time to put on the winter tires and rims. You all know how they make our cars look like some small
matchbox cars because the enormous fender to tire gap. I use 10mm H&R spacers on my stock 19" in summer,but has anyone tried them on the 18" winters if they fit?
Best regards

Havent tried yet, but during this weekend ill fit my winter tires (pretty much stock offsets) and am planning to keep my 15mm spacers (front and back), would be very suprised if they dont fit since my summer wheels have same ofset but 285 wide tires in the rear over the 255 around for the winter setup (8½ front 9½ rear).
So your stock winter wheels with 10mm spacer should fit while even having a decent margin (and look much better).

You are right! I installed them today with my rear 12mm spacers and front 10mm spacers and the car looks very nice and a lot better than last winter without spacers

I tried my tirerack 18 inch Breyton winters with the 12mm spacers all around, but I thought the fronts looked like they stuck out just too far, so now I just have the rear spacers and the look is better. Frankly, I'd have gone with 19" replica M6 wheels if I had to do it again. I don't drive in snow, but do drive below 40 degrees F, and the 19s look better on the car with wider rubber than the 18s with 255s, my opinion.......

you should not have a need for spacers if you are using the OEM winter rims, style M184s...
