Snow tire question

[C4S Surgeon]

I ordered a set of pirelli 240 snow sport tires from tire rack.225 front and 265 rear. Can those 265's be put on the stock rims 18x11, they recommend 18x10-10.5. Really don't want to buy another set of rims. :drive: If I did buy rims they would be 18x11 dual purpose(snow/track). I acn't have three sets of rims/tires in the garage, wife would kill me.

according to the owner's manual p.247, technical data:

265/35 18 snow tires go with 10J x 18 Rims with 47mm rim offset.

a set of new snow tires last at least 2 to 3 seasons, I think the time, the hassle and $ spend for tires mounting & balancing each and every season will pay for a new set of rims. :cheers:

Especially if you get the MM Cup Sport 3 rims from Tirerack

They're on back order. But would those tires work on 11in rims, I may be able to pick some up to be used for track tires later.
