RE: 18in 5 spoke alloys on 250 AWD....

Is it a good idea to have the dealer put the 18in 5 spoke alloys on the 250 AWD all around, front/rear? will they?

safety concerns? damage?...

You should be fine. Besides, the dealer is installing them and they are liable!! Onus falls on them.

The shouldn't install them...

You would only want to put the 18x8's on all four corners with a 225/40/18 tire..

Especially if you plan on driving on those fun NY snowy days

yea, if youre getting awd and 2IS 18s on there, make sure they're two sets of fronts (18x8) and youll be good to go. and like others have said, the dealerships the one doin it, so theyre liable

just double check their work imo
