Stock MS3 tires on 18x7.5 rims?

[SilverMS3]

I'm looking at getting some aftermarket rims and a set of all-season tires. What I'm hoping I can do is switch the stock summer rubber(215/45R18) to the aftermarket rims and then put all-season tires on the stock rims. That way the stock rims and all-season tires can become my winter setup.

So, has anyone or does anyone know if the stock 215/45R18 rubber will work on an 18x7.5 wheel?

yep, they will even fit on 18x8

Excellent! I gotta get the setup figured out before snow starts falling.

Now, I need to find a good deal on 18x7.5 wheels and all-season rubber.

Here they are on a 18x8. They no longer have the squared off look but they work just fine.

If you want a good deal on tires, you may be able to get a local place to price match www.tirerack.com (or any other reputable online dealer) if you just go in with a copy of what you can get it for and add on a reasonable shipping fee. Just make sure that it's a tire in a size that they have in stock locally and they will likely work with you, since it's business they wouldn't have if they didn't deal.

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully someone's willing to deal since I'd have to get both sets of tires mounted and balanced.

Ya, the fact that you're gonna need their services for mounting and balancing will assist in helping them to decide to help you, I'm sure... Just keep in mind that your business would be business they wouldn't have if it weren't for the price match...make sure they know this!
