Hi all
It seems you can not get 14 inch snow tyres (LT) in Canada or they are next to impossible to find.
would these work? Would I need spacers? Id like to find something plug and play.
regards
and yes I did search and read through alot of tyre threads and i just got more confused

These wheels would require spacers and lugs. If you purchased from me, the parts total would be between $129.78 and $289.56, depending on your hardware choices.
These wheels could be nearly a bolt-on if you use 205 or narrower tires. Wider tires will require spacers. Center caps won't fit without spacers but custom caps are available to solve that issue. You will need to drill the lug holes to 37/64" and you will need lugs front and rear. Parts for these wheels can range from $$49.80 to $409.52, depending on your choice of hardware and whether or not you include the custom center caps.

Fairly often, IMO "it's discontinued" means "Why the F#@% won't just buy what I have in stock already".
Maybe double check it with some other vendors. |
