CT4-V My budget winter setup test fit

[shbox]

Learned the hard way that the sensors didn't come with the nuts to mount them to the wheel rim. So you'll need PN 13581557

Since I have a delay, View attachment 13362this was a little over the top. I compounded, polished and ceramic coated the winter wheels.

Perfectly normal for anyone in this forum. Looks very nice!

Its 70 degrees today, so lets install snow tires! Well, its 40 degrees in 48hrs so I figured do some work while its nice.

Very happy with the result. The rears really dont poke out as you can see. The lower sidewall vs the 275/35 in the rear makes the gap a bit bigger which is kind of meh-but again, this is winter.

However, I like this setup SO much, I think I might modify it to be my summer setup. I would replace the rears with 18 x 10.5 ET40s, sell the extra pair or keep as spares, have all 4 powdercoated gunmetal gray and swap on my summer tires. Run the stockers the next winter. I like that the Apex's are likely 20% or more lighter in unsprung weight. I will give them the winter test to see if they are strong and not bendy.

I also installed the rear Amazon mudflaps while I had the wheels off.

Going to put mine on Monday. Looks like tomorrow is our last nice day for MI. Potentially snow next week in middle counties
