Hi!

I'm currently running 235/40/18 front and 245/40/18 rear. 18 x 8.5'' wheels. I have a 10mm spacer in the front and have absolutely no rubbing, and a 15mm spacer in the rear and it rubs... alot - I can't drive 3.

What are some decent all-season tires to get and sizes? Im thinking about rolling the fenders but say I didn't want to - what should I do?

Thanks!

I just bought a set of staggered wheels that have Continental DWS-06 tires on them. I had planned on putting on Firehawk Indy 500s, but there is just too much usable rubber left on these so I just threw them on as is.

They appear to get great ratings on TireRack, but I've not used them in any winter weather, so I can't provide my personal opinion (and I plan to getting true snow tires for the winter here in Vermont).

As for sizing, part of me wants to tell you to get a square setup so you can rotate these if they are going to be on year round. However, I'm not sure if that would be for a 8.5" square setup.
