Default Proper Winter Set-up

So I finally got my proper winter wheels in. OZ Ultraleggera's...18x8 on all four corners. I'm actually happy that I can rotate them not and hopefully get a little more life out of them. Same Blizzak LM-25's that were on the temporary wheels.

Sorry about the picture quality I was running out of light but wanted to throw something up today as I'm very happy with them

Thank you. The 18's are smaller, but I believe necessary for the road conditions that I will see. Keep in mind where I live

I did get to take some new, better pics today. Hope you like them

Hi CDNROCKIES,

I am from Canada but in Greater Toronto Area. Your OZ wheels look nice!

Have IS350 but I am a bit curious what tire size you have on your IS-F. 255/40R18 for the rear and 225/40R18 for the front, just like IS350? The power and torque on IS-F are much higher than IS350.

Thanks.

LOL...yes they are. But keeping in mind where I live and the amount of snow I will encounter they are what should be necessary to keep my F safe and driveable this winter

Thanks! They are actually 225/45/18 all the way around. I won't be racing it anywhere now with these, but it is nice that I'll be able to rotate them and hopefully get several seasons out of them....AND keep my BBS's in great shape for summer fun

What size is the tires?
They look perfect on the 18s.
I am trying to figure out what size to use on my 18s.
