Hi All, 

I currently have the original wheels on a staggered set up.  If going to winter wheels/tyres do I need to go staggered or will same all round be fine? 

What size wheels?  Currently on 18"s.

Hi Richard

I have used both staggered and square set ups. You can check wheel sizes using www.realoem.com if you are making a wheel/tyre purchase make sure that the wheels have the correct offset so they clear the brake calipers also make sure they are suitable for your car

From the weather forecast it could  be the first time in a long time it's been cold enough to need Winters unless like I used to you need to travel in Europe where Winters are mandatory

For winter wheels, a square arrangement is quite acceptable and frequently superior for winter grip; you don't have to keep staggered. Depending on brake clearance, most people switch to 17" or stick with 18", but 17s with the right winter tires typically ride better and are less expensive. Just make sure that everything is cleared by the widths and offsets.
