I can add spacers to the 258s, but wonder if that would push the 10s too close [or even rub ...] the fenders. Plus - I'm looking for deals. I'm not spending $1000+ for summer wheels in ATL; I suppose I could just swap out the DWS for the summer with 18" performance tires [maybe yokos], then have the DWS remounted, if I don't locate a good local deal on OEM 19s or 20s.

Have you considered just getting replicas (not necessarily the style you're asking about)? Probably could get a set of nice 20s for $800 or less. Tire choices are probably more in 20s too.
