The fruits of my labor have finally paid off. Just in time, it snowed in Chicago this morning!

Yes. Just look it up in the vehicle part finder! You'll see my wagon!Polestar
Are there rims at tire rack for big brake polestar's
In theory yes, in practise this isn't guaranteed.. The back spacing, clearance for calipers, might measure OK at the widest point but many aftermarket rims have a very tapered shape on the inside toward the center of the rim where a pretty square shape is needed. As an example take a look at the Volvo Pegasus 18x8 ET46 rim. It clears the OEM R Brembo calipers comfortably while Imitation Pegasus 18x8 ET43 rims won't fit.Johann, the context of this thread is rims TireRack's measurements determined will work. As a lower offset for a non deep dish spoke design (where the spokes are flush with the front of the rim) actually means there is more distance for the front spokes, I expect it will. We'll have confirmation shortly I imagine.
Sorry for that. My reservations are because I have 2 sets of 19x8.5 ET45 aftermarket Volvo rims here which do not clear the Polestar setup. Added to that they will place the rim 11 mm further to the outside.Now you're making me nervous about them fitting over my brakes.
These look great! According to the chart you posted previously, the 245/40-19's appear to be the best option... Is this the size you chose (have pictured)? They sure look like 245/40's with the meatier sidewall...Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4, excellent drive, on wet and dry, there is n't much snow left, of what we got this week, even up in the mountains.
Is that your winter tire package? Can you let us know which package you went with and give us some driving impressions? I'll probably be buying a set for my car this winter and could use the info on what you like/don't like.Polestar #77
Is having his tire rack rims mounted today
Great first step for aftermarket rims , fingers crossed
I got the same quote, except with shipping, tax, and duties, it was only a couple hundred bucks less than getting the BBS SR 19x8.5 that I ordered with the same tires that you got.It really is time for on-vehicle pictures from those of you that got them mounted ... Cheers! :beer:
