A friend of mine is giving me these tires, and I need some winter tires badly. Would it be ok to use this size on all four AP1 whees? I know the rear wheels are wider I dont really care if the tires are not staggered OEM spec.

They will be more than an inch taller. That would give you another 1/2 inch of ground clearance which is not a bad thing in the winter. The gearing and speedometer would be affected though.

They are 1.2" taller than stock. While free is a good thing I think they could rub especially when snow builds up in the wheel well.

thanks for the replys, I had them installed yesterday and it started snowing this morning!

I am not lowered right now so that is a good thing. They definately are taller lol.. I'll take some pics for reference.

I still have about 2 fingers gap in the wheel well.

What was your experience then after using these tires? Any issues? I received a full set (Front/rear) of the same size tires. Wanted to see how you made out with this.
