What wheels should I get?

[fc1.los]

So winter's coming up and I plan on getting new tires + rims after the snow season. Part of me is thinking of sticking with the same size tires, and part of me wants to go with a wider tire. Does anyone know what size would be optimal if I currently have the car lowered on Eibach springs and have 25mm spacers in the rear and 20mm spacers in the front? Would I maybe need to get rid of the spacers if I wanna go with a bigger wheel without rubbing? And can anyone recommend some good tire brands? Thanks in advance!

Go for 17 inch. Try for something more narrow. Width on winter tires is a bad idea. You want a more narrow contact patch. Think ice skates vs snow shoes or a runner style sled vs a wide tub style sled.

Use the search. This has been covered many times.

I meant in the original post that I wanna do the wider tires after the winter's over once it starts getting warmer again. I plan on just sticking with the tires that came from the factory for the winter. And I tried looking for this topic but I suck at navigating through the forums lol. Thanks anyways!

Gotcha. Just to make you aware the stock all seasons....not great in winter conditions

Damn, thanks for that info! I just assumed they'd do alright in the winter. Hopefully we don't get a crazy snowstorm on the east coast this year lol
