Winter Tires for 223m of 333m wheels

I have both the 223m and 333m wheel sets. I was hoping to get a good set of winters for the 223m wheels, however I can find anything for the 10" wide rear wheels.

Is anyone running a good winter tire set up with either of these wheels. If you are, please let me know what you have.

I am running Pirelli 275 front/315 rear winter tires... conclusion... they suck... the wide tires makes the truck float around in snowy conditions... but for some reason I rather preserve the stance then my safety.

Ok. I'm going to look for a set of 19" wheels 8.5" wide that I can run 255mm winter tires on all four corners.

I think the Pirelli Scorpions Winter Rfts will fit the 223's and should do a nice job. I just put continental DSW06's on my 333's today. So far, they ride real nice. We'll see how they do in the snow.

Does anyone know if the front 223 wheels would work on the rear of my x5? I would consider purchasing (2) additional front 223 wheels so I could run a square set up. The fronts are 19x9 with a 37mm offset.

the factory M wheels. Style 299 i think, they are the same size/offset as 333m wheels

Here's a pic of them installed when I first got the car



These are the tires
