I am considering the same approach thinking I’ll eventually find a set of used wheels for winter duty. However, I had heard some potential issues about mounting/remounting tires (stress on the bead edge?) Have you heard anything like that ?

Hi Bob, I believe 2-2.5 years. Not sure if this is typical, or if it was this dark from the California fires last year.

Thanks, always nice to have a reference point...I am planning to take a peek at mine just out of curiosity later this month at the one year mark.

Winters on FF01 19s.

Had 12mm spacers at rear for the OEM S 20s. Now it’s poking out more than I want it to.

I am running 7mm all around on my 20s and the rear is perfect when viewed from above in the middle of the tire. The front is set in a little but I like the way it looks.
