We've got some time before winter rolls back around, but I decided to get my winter wheel setup ready now instead of waiting until there's a shortage when everybody's doing it. I went with 19x8 with a 40mm offset. That makes the surface of the wheel stick out about 19mm more than the OEM wheels, which I was concerned may be too much. But the OEM wheels are set so far into the wheel well, that it's really not an issue at all. With the extra 19mm of poke, the face of the wheel is just about flush with the wheel well lip.
The wheels are Petrol P5A 19x8 5x108 +40. The irony of using Petrol wheels on an EV is not lost on me. They have an odd center bore size of 72.1, so centering rings don't seem to be easy to find. There are a couple of websites in the UK that have the right size rings, so I guess I'll just order from one of them. Now that the test fit is done, I'll be wrapping them in Hakkapeliitta R3 tires.
