I dont think I can wait till march to put my 20in style 177s on

My 20in 177s came in about 10 days ago and igot them in the garage. I dont think I can wait till spring to put them on. Im going crazy. Every time I go in my garage I open the boxes to look at them. I think Im just gonna order some tires and slap them on for a couple of weeks until the winter comes. I really dont want tires hanging around my garage for 4 months if they dont have to be. I heard they can dry rot or get flat spots. My garge is heated though so that should help a little i guess. Because I heard from an engineer on time nothing is worse for tires than cold concrete. So what do you guys think I should do. Should I wait or just buy them put them on until it snows them take them off untill late march. It seems like a waste and pain in the ass for me. But I cant stop staring at these wheels wondering how they would look.

I know I want to put them on so bad. about them not being to hard to take off, why dont you tell that to my lower back after im done. Getting those things in place on the hub is tough. They are so damn heavy and it is a weird position to be in since you have to be on the ground.

Put them on!! Its not that hard. I just took my 20's off to piant the calipers red yesterday and it was no trouble at all plus putting them back on was no problem! I still am a bit undecided to change my 87's to 177's as I still want to see them on the "is" model.

Put them on if you have toyo's they can cope with light snow, so most people say on this board.

Sudesh you got any pictures of your calipers painted ?

Is it just the me or the pic, but are your wheels the same size all round and the tires quite large?? What size tires you running with?

It's the picture, the tires are just pushed up next to the ones that are on the X..just wanted a better picture of what they would look like..several other seem to as well so I thought I'd try posting a picture.
