I’m awaiting delivery of my MME. It’s arriving with 19” summer tires. As I’m in WI, I need snow tires as well.
what are peoples experiences with snows on an MME?
What did you go go with?
Did anyone switch to 18” from 19 or 20 for their winter wheels?
Is there an issue going to 18” wheels with the premium package?
Lets see what has worked best!

Search for a few threads on the topic - lots of options are out there.

Most 18" wheels will fit on the Premium/Selects (but NOT the GT PE), though the clearance is tight. I have 18" x 7.5" x ET45 wheels (Jaguar takeoffs) as my winter wheel set and they clear the brakes by about 1cm. A 17" would certainly not fit.

Most people keep stock sizing for snows (225/60 R18), but you can bump up 1% on the diameter if you want and go with a 235/60 R18, which is what I did.

I kept my factory 18” Select wheels as my snows. And bought some nice aftermarket 20” for my spring/summer/fall wheels.

18" steel wheels with conti viking contact in OEM size. No TPMS. Cheapest setup I could find.
