Default Snow tire question ! JIM please chime in

ok well i got a question for ya i have a set of basically brand new 205 55 16 dunlop winter sport 3d's on some 16 inch steelies off my old 2006 civic and i wanted to know if it would be a bad idea to put the steelies on my S. cause there all the same size all around, how would that affect the car and handling ?

jim what do you think as well?

Jim recommended me to run 205/55 16 on my AP1 wheels all around for a winter setup. FWIW I ran 225/40 18 on a staggered BMW 335 18" wheel and had no issues. Plus you can rotate.

The tires would be fine. Running the 205/55R16 all the way around for winter is going to give you the most traction. The wheels would not be a good idea. They would not be hubcentric and they may not clear the front brakes. The factory wheels also may not have enough load capacity.

well the offset on the wheels is a 45 as where the s2k fronts stock are 55 and the rear are 65 so i think they will clear but will stick out a lil but idk what to do
