Lakeshore Wheel & Tire (Holland, MI)?

[BimmerDob]

Thanks for all the replies and confidence in Lakeshore.

Winter tires for 20" wheels seem hard to come by, Lakeshore doesn't have any, and TireRack only offers one 20" tire choice, same width tire for 9.5 and 10.5 wheels, can't say I like that idea.

I too, can vouch for LWT. I ordered a set of 20s from them only to find one had a flat spot. They immediately sent out a replacement and everything worked out fine. I would definitely buy from them again!

Myself, BreytonX5 and few others have also bought from them without any issues. There packaging is also good.

I think I read in another post you have 18inch replica style 87s from these guys for the winter? Are you pleased with them? They clear the 4.8 brakes ok? Also, are you running a spacer in the back?

Thanks!

Yes, I have the 18" replicas and I am happy with them. They clear the brakes and yes I do have 30mm H&R spacers in the back.

Trust me you don't want 20" winter tires! I had a hard time just finding 19's last winter. I guess they're available now, but i went with the 18's with Pirelli Scorpions and I couldn't be happier with them. Yesterday we had some freezing rain and I just about slipped twice walking to the truck. Once I drove away, the truck took off in a straight line and never slipped once all day. I can't imagine getting that kind of traction with 20" steam rollers. I got my 20's cleaned and put away till Spring next year. Something to look forward to...

Get 4 front rims, they fit on the back, and put the 20" snows on them. You don't want to stretch 275's on a 10.5" rim. I guess I am the only one who is going to try it. I am patiently waiting for the real cold weather and snow to come so I can put them on and try them out
