2023 GV70 2.5T Prestige
$3K? Holy moly.....they're trying to make a pretty penny on that steal. Good move on the hyundai wheels...actually just picked up an 18" set for $375 for winters for my father's 2020 Santa Fe. Great alternative. Actually saw a set of 19" off a late model Tuscon for 500 but wanted to stick to stock size.Winter in northern New Brunswick , Canada is settling in.
My GV70 dealer (Halifax) suggested 18" rims and winter rated rubber (235/60R/18). The complete package (tires, rims, sensors), as offered, was ~$3K
Here is my cost conscience winter alternative to the 21" Waffles on my 2022 Sport Plus:
2011 Hyundia Santa Fe 18" rims with a 41degree offset. Due to the size of the front brakes, the rims require a small wheel spacer (I purchased 5mm spacers which provides more clearance than necessary) and aftermarket wheel bolts (M14 x 1.5 with a full 40mm of thread length).
The used rims were $400.00 (Facebook Marketplace), the spacers were $40.00 (Amazon.ca), and the bolts $39.95 US (Lugnutguys) online.
FYI: We get a lot of winter road conditions and winter generally lasts 5 months. For those shopping for winter tires, check out the Bridgestone Blizzak dm-v2....outstanding.
I probably would not have used the spacers as they are unlikely hubcentric, unless you needed more clearance for the calipers.
