Will these winter wheels fit?
Looking to get a set of winter tires for a quick trip to Canada this winter.
From my research for winter tires you want the same size all around.
MB recommends 245/40/r18s all around, but with the staggered tires, I would need to purchase a rear set to match the front and then the tires as well.
Found these Audi rims with some winter tires on them

The tires are crap, so I would need to order a new set. But the cost for these would be one mint wheel here in LA.
Trying to make it there safe while not having a set of MB rims that sit in the corner of the garage.
I've only had Land Rovers in the snow in the North East and now living in LA for the last two years I thought I would never been in snow conditions again.
Thanks!

Another option:

From a Mercedes s430, the offset is 5mm higher though. Not going for beauty, going for functionality.
