I also have the staggered 18inch wheels and decided to go with the staggered Pirelli Sotozeros. From what I read you can go 225-45-18 all around but the rear tires will stretch a little in the wider rim.

I chose to get new rims 8” on all four corners.

No tire stretching,on those wider rear rims, no potential rim or tire damage mounting and unmounting each season. No rebalancing. Cheaper change over each season.

I hear that, I was able to get a second set of the OEM 18” wheels from a member here. Those were in much better shape than mine. I’ll now use my old OEM wheels for the staggered pirellis. Never had dedicated snows before so pretty excited for it.

Circumference
2072.5mm 2027mm
Poke
56.6mm 61.6mm
Inset
146.6mm 141.6mm
Speedo error
0% 2.25%

Haven't run into rims specifically saying summer vs winter. Maybe someone else can comment.

Are the 'winter' ones stronger (steel maybe, instead of alloy) or more corrosion resistant against salt?

Search TireRack.com and see if 225 45 18 at all corners is an ok set up for your model. Their website should tell you if that config will work.

Ok thanks. so having checked both TireRack and Quattrotires (i'm in montreal Quebec). seems as though i get conflicting recommendations. on tirerack.com i get 2 options. 1. 225/50-17 which is my current winter setup and 2. 225/45-18 front and 245/40-18 back. On quattrotires i get these 2 options and a third which is 225/45-18 all around. sorry guys i'm a total newbie here. i've checked other threads and people seem to be running 225/45-18 all around.
