One last update from me on my stock 345M wheels chosen for winter use.

I purchased square setup with 19*9 et 32 and TODAY, I have them put on with winter tires mounted on them already. Guess what, the front cleared but not the back ... the shop owner came out and told me the bad news and to my disbelief this whole damn winter wheel nightmare is happening all over again.

The back caliper was barely touching the inner barrel wheel as he rotates the wheels. I asked for solution and he proposed to shave off/machine grinding off about 2-3mm of caliper and repaint the affected area. After about 1/2 hr of work done on both side, the rear wheel finally cleared.

Therefore, the lesson of the day is ..... if anyone is buying the stock 19" 345M wheel. You will need to buy:

Front: 19 * 9 36112284250
Rear: 19 * 10 36112284251

No exception ... unless you want to go thru I just went thru.
