PP Wheels in the winter?

[blk_5.0]

Recently picked up my 15 PP GT and am trying to figure out what to do wheel wise here for winter in Michigan. I will be daily driving my car through the winter and don't know if I should just run the PP wheels with winter tires or keep my laguna seca style 19x9 wheels I just purchased for my '14 3 months ago. I already have 255/40/19 p zero neros for them but figure those aren't really a winter tire so I will need new ones either way. Anyone have any recommendations? Not sure if the staggered setup vs the squared one would be better either. I also will wash the car at least once a week so not too worried about salt on the stock wheels.

Sell the neros and the laguna wheels top up on that cash and get a set of square 19" AMR wheels from American Muscle. Then get Michelin ice X from Tirerack. 245/45/19. For snow, a narrower widith is better.

Bingo^^ Also look at Dunlop snow and ice 3D tired they work well for me in Chicago winters

I would get 18's instead and the tires would be cheaper

The lagunas are square. thinking maybe ill just use them. I was curious about the width in winter, thanks for the advice!

most 18" wheels wont clear the GT PP wheels you will need a rotory forged wheel or flow formed wheel so for 18" you need

Forgestar CF5
HRE FF15
MRR FS01 ( being test fitted soon)

a better solution would be a 19" wheel with a winter tire something like the Blizzak LM-32 tire is my recommendation.

Im more then down to help you out if youd like.

A good cost effective route is to use your GT PP wheels pair that with a winter tire for the winter season and grab yourself a set of wheels for the summer season, something that will also help shed unsprung weight which is a big benefit.

does anyone know if you can use 17" wheels on non PP GT's. Cost for 17' tires is much cheaper
