Looking for winter tires on my Ecoboost PP

[Falcon01]

I'm planning on getting a set of winter tires and wheels from tirerack, unless anyone has a better suggestion. Because I have PP with the large front brakes, would 18" wheel clear the front brakes? I've read that only 19" and higher would, but just trying to confirm. Also, what should the offset be on them? I found 19" wheels with 32 and 38mm offsets, trying to choose the right one. Other than 4 rims, tires and tpms sensors, is there anything else I should get? I've heard some people mention centering caps, but I'm not sure if they're needed or not.

I'd probably try and go with 18" if I can to save some money.

Tires I'm looking at for 19": 255/40R19 100T XL Yokohama Icegaurds IG 52C with Verde Ax 19" rims. Let me know if anyone recommends anything else.

I'd try to go for these 18" if they'll fit: : 235/50R18 97T or 245/50R18 100T XL Yokohama Iceguards.

Does anyone know the specs for wheels on a PP?
Bolt Pattern, offset, etc? I've tried searching but can't find anything solid.

5 x 114.3mm, 19 x 9.0 45mm, 70.5mm bore

Some 18s do fit over the PP brakes, not all so research before buying.

Offsets lower than 45mm will push the wheel outwards so it will fit up to a point depending on the look you are going for.

You will need centering rings if your wheels have a larger centerbore. If they have a smaller centerbore, they will not fit.

Personally, I bought snow tires for the original PP wheels and I'll get a set 20s next summer.

The PP calipers you have should work with the 18s just depends on the wheel.

If you can get the Blizzak LM-32 tires I would recommend that.

Be careful My 18s barely clear my Ecoboost base brakes.

Well, it's a Ecoboost PP so 18" GT wheels should fit just fine since the calipers are the same as in non-PP GT. Look at the forum or ebay, plenty of those for sale.

I bought these off a guy with a gt pp. AMR 19's with Dunlop wintersports. I think the AMRs look better than TR wheels...
