My Winter 18" SS tires w/pics

Here are my winter tires that I got from Tirerack.com. They are GoodYear Eagle Ulta Grip GW3 (performance winter/snow) tires size 225/60R18 mounted on Sport Edition F9 18x8 rims. Tirerack mounted and balanced and sent to my tire guy, and then I got them mounted on the car there. Clearance is about my pinky between rim and Bembo's, so good to go in the snow now. Here are some pics, not the greatest since the weather was not great, also show the graphics on the hood cowel and the rear in between the tail lights.

Do they smoke right up when you floor it.

Actually had pretty good grip, but I only floored it twice so far, but it did smoke them better than the Pirelli's.

Do any of you guys know if these 18" rims will fit on the 2SS/RS?

MSW Type 12

I like the design a little better than the others, but I don't know if I want to chance them not fitting. They pop up next to the Sport Edition F9's that the original poster has when searching for winter tires/rims for the 2010 SS w/ RS package on tirerack.com. I plan on getting the Blizzak LM-25's with whichever rims I go with.

Thanks,

Y2J

I would hate to live where it snows... do you have to change your wheels?
