    Well since my car is a daily I have to get a second set of wheels. Had worries what I can get because of having the 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears. So I was able to get another set of wheels. 20x8.5 not sure offset with 245/45R20s from my 20x9.5 with the 275/40R20s. It clears both calipers so Im good. Im going to try the tires and see if they will work or not

    the 275's don't look that much wider even though they are about an inch wider

    I am similarly confused when people talk about "winterizing" their boats.

    Where I live we have 2 seasons.
    Hot and not quite so hot. lol

    lol, I loved this years summer here In Pennsylvania. It was a very mild summer.

    On the other hand I'm confused when California news reports say its down right cold if the temp drops below 70

    Well some of us can't afford 2 vehicles. I used to when I had my stratus. If I can find a cheap but decent awd car I'd park the charger in the winter

    I'm sure there will be more than one day in the winter where I drive the car and it ends up snowing. That should be fun lol
