Default Winter Tire Package - Any Problems or Suggestions?

Here are the current wheels and tires I am thinking of purchasing for a winter setup. Does anything see any problems or have any suggestions?

One question, with a non-staggered setup are any of the safety systems affected since the tire diameters will be the same?

BREMMER KRAFT - BR10 - 19x8.5 +45 Offset
MICHELIN - PILOT ALPIN PA4 - 245/40R19




Obviously I have entered a GS instead of the RCF since tirerack hasn't scanned the RCF to allow for searching for wheels. Hopefully these wheels won't have any clearance issues with the brakes.

Thank you

specs look to be fine, very conservative and smart as a square winter setup.

Hi, i see you have been looking at my winter wheel set which is lightly used and already road force balanced with TPMS. Let me know what you think of it versus purchasing a newer set.

while i don't own an rcf i figure i can try to help out, i own a 08 isf and i have a set of winter wheels and tires. i have a set of 18's 40 offset all around with blizzaks ws80 225/45/18 and it works great as i can get through the colorado winters unless we get a blizzard of course lol, only downfall of using 19's like op mentioned is that you can only get performance winter tires which are great for small amounts of snow. hope that helps guys
