Richard in NC is on a distinguished road
I did factory 50i M Sport staggered 19s sizes for my winter tires, Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow. Yes even in Charlotte. It paid off for the 3 days of snow, plus the trip to WV.
Charlotte has more ice storms than snow storms. We had 1/2" of ice on top of 3 inches snow. I had to work to break traction even on the ice. Few people even dared driving that day but I felt I could go anywhere.

I believe they are 255/50 on 19x9 front and 285/45 on 19x10 rear. Plus the same look year around.

I am still debating which 20s to get. Until then I'll swap the tires on the factory rims.

Here are the pics after driving 1 day in bad weather in WV.
