Ahh, I see.. well, the wheels are to be replaced in the future.. I haven't done much technical research yet because the wheels are near $2k, and it's winter.. Do you have to keep the 225's all around on the AWD or is that just factory?
I figured I'd find the max wheel + tire size and such when it gets closer to that time.

busdepot: Just wondering, do you use studs on the back because of power distribution? I ended up going with All-Seasons for now because it doesn't snow THAT often in Denver. In the summer, I will get new wheels with new tires (and yes new TPMS) and keep the stock with the all-season's for winter. Actually, one of the stock wheels is slightly bent, so I'll probably replace it with another stock wheel if I can find one.

And to be honest, I will never in my life buy non-studded winter tires again. Sure, studdless Nokians and Michelins are good winter tires, but they will never be better than studded tires. Studs are noisey, they can wreck the roads, and scratch up your driveway like you wouldn't believe. And that's fine with me. Most of the roads I drive are plowed of snow leaving just the ice behind. Studs make literally a world of difference. But PM me for more info if you want it. The bulk of people on here aren't worried about winters lol

They had studded tires in stock when I got the Eagle GT All-seasons, but I went with the all-seasons because I figure I might get 8-10 more snow days before spring, and I'll have to keep these on until I get the new wheels/tires.
Thanks for the recommendation on the wheel thread, after looking through I think I'll be doing:
F - 19x8.5__40mm offset___tire 235/35/19
R - 19x10___38mm offset___tire 275/30/19
Bookmarked so I don't forget. =P
