Default Sparco Podio wheels 18” on ISF

I needed a winter set of wheels and tires. While shopping I couldn’t find what many of the wheels would look like on the ISF so I thought to share what the Sparco Podio wheels look like. I bought them off tire rack with a set of Blizzaks. Wow, it is so much better in colder days than the OE Potenzas.

Thanks Weapon F. To Jwconeil, it is a square setup. 18x8 45mm offset. This was the setup recommended from Tire rack. I sort of wish I would have gone wider, but this is a good setup for winter with the potholes we get in Indiana during winter. Overall, happy with the performance of the tires in the colder temps. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Same here 225/40/18 Blizzak ws80. 225 are bit to narrow in rear especially FBO and tuned but you need the narrower tires in snow.

I see you live in Indiana, in Northern parts of state you get some decent snow amounts in south not that much. But where I Iive in Hudson Valley area of New York State we can see between mid 30inchs to 90inchs of snowfall. In NYC Mid 20 and up snow fall per year. One storms can dump 20 inch or more in one snow storm and thats in South in NYC further north the higher amouts, upstate New York well over 100inchs of snow. All season tires will do you no good with high snow fall amounts or worse icy road conditions.
