Hmmm...yeah, they've got that "stretched ricer look" - looks like they'd fit a 10" wide wheel better...
getting quite the education on winter rims for the c4s. turns out i need part #99636214002 (18 x 10 with 47mm offset) to replace my existing rear rims (18 x 11 with 45 mm offset).....now i just have to find some for sale at a reasonable price. i did see some older posts about putting 275s or even 285s on rear stock rims in the winter. I might have to bite the bullet and buy another set of larger rear winter tires and sell the recently acquired 265s since 2 new tires is significantly cheaper than 2 new rear rims.
any advice is appreciated. drove 60 miles this morning on the new tires and the ride was very smooth, my old sumo rear 295s were apparently toast.

Get the 10" rears and mount the 265s on them. If you go wider on tire width, you're going the wrong direction. Narrower is better for winter tires (as is taller aspect ratio).
