Winter Tyres On !
So after deciding to stay on the 19" Multi's and keep the 12mm spacers all round, the Vreds Wintrac Extreme's went on today.
Fronts 235/35/19 12mm H&R Spacer
Rears 265/30/19 12mm H&R Spacer
The rears are what you would call ' cosy ' running std suspension till the summer anyhow, when the KW's go on but I reckon even with the V3's kit it will be fine.
Done a quick 15/20 min blast with the new set up, no rubbing and feels good.
Few pics
Bring on the winter weather !!

Yup.. we normally only get a little bit of snow an if we do for a week, so it's more the daily below 7 degrees, and wet, cold weather as the con ti's were slippy slidy in the dry already.
This tyre has been recommended by a few and available in the sizes I needed so kept the std wheels and opted for as you say.. luxury winter set up

The multispokes are cast wheels, not forged.
Looking sweet with the spacers, but be prepared to rub with 265/30 & 12mm in the rear after u install ur KW.

Vise, u should use ur multispoke for summer & ur forgestar for winter if u take in consideration the cost of both wheels. Lol

Nah, I like the Forgestar's better from a style perspective... plus the width/offsets are way better than the OEMs. I do like the multi-spokes too and they'll work just fine for winter.
