OK, trying to revive this discussion about aftermarket wheels, in my case for my non-PP 19" Polestar 2. I want to get a separate set of wheels for my winter tires (FWIW, I'm getting the Michelin X-ice Snow 245/45/R19 tires). Hard to figure out an appropriate wheel set for a few reasons:
1) I can't find any major tire/wheel dealers that have the P2 listed on their website
2) The wheel size and offsets listed elsewhere on this forum (
8Jx19xET50 front
, and 9Jx19xET53 rear
) seem a bit non-standard (well, the offset are large, at least)
- I don't know how much it matters to exactly match the offsets. This may be almost impossible without actually trying the wheel on the car (?)
- I also don't know if I need to match the different front/back rim widths for my winter tires. Or if I could just go 8" (or 9") on both.
I need to order my winter tires now because the Michelin snows always sell out by December. So I'm going to get them now, even though my car is probably at least a few weeks out. Worst case, I can always put my snows on the stock tire for this winter and figure out a second set of wheels next summer when people actually know what a Polestar is.
Curious if anyone has anything more to add to this. Especially US folks dealing with US tire/wheel retailers.
