Default Winter Wheels for 2018 SQ5?
I have a new 2018 SQ5 with 20” wheels and I’m already thinking of winter wheels/tires. I would prefer a 19 inch or even an 18 inch wheel for winter use (I’m in Michigan). When shopping on TireRack, BelleTire, etc., the sites only show 20” and 21” wheels for the 2018 SQ5 and I’d prefer smaller wheels. Do I merely specify a wheel of 18x8 with a 5x112 bolt pattern and ET offset of 25 to 35? Are the Hartmann wheels really superior to other brands?

This is all new to me and I’m on a learning curve! Thanks.

Are you on the mobile site for TireRack? I found that I needed to use the full desktop version of the website in order to see the 18" and 19" options.

Yes, Homebuoy, I was using my phone to search TireRack. I'll give the full desktop version a try - thanks!

Hello. Just be sure the wheel clears the front brake calipers. Rears shouldn't be a problem. Tire Rack is pretty good so assume they will only present wheels that will fit over the SQ5 front calipers. That said you can also check to see which size wheel has the most winter tire options and at what price.

Sadly, no. I'll try and search again. Might have to wait until winter. =)
(Also, the wheel is discontinued.)

you have mounted the wheels and theyndo fit? Tirerack also shows 18” options but I don’t think it would fit over the brake calipers
