Re: Will 18" front rims fit on rear?

However, if I can get the 18s on the rear, I just have to buy a thicker sidewall tire to match the same aspect ratio of the 19s.

Have you done this yet? If so, any problems or issues with using the 18" fronts on the rear? What tire size did you use to match the aspect ratio? And, what brand of winter tires did you wind up with and how do you like them?

Thanks for the help - we're getting more than our share of winter this year...
