Why would you want to?

You need a narrower tire to cut through the snow, and a higher profile tire to cushion you from all those hidden road hazards that may damage the rim.. plus you're also going to ruin the finish on those 19s.

If you're still adamant about it.. if you can fit those size tires in the summer, obviosuly you can do the same for the winter..

Yeah they'll work fine, but I advise u to put on a larger profile tire, and 2 small sizes than the OE ones...they'll be better in snow =]

is SOLD
since it's winter time i say leave the stock wheels on and use snow tires. and when the sun comes out later on just put the 19's. this way you save up some money to get some good wheels.

Thanks for the advice guys!

I was thinking to put some replicas during winter, in that way i wouldnt get a headache if something happens to the rims :p btw higher profile tires will rub on my fender though..
