Studded Winter Tires - narrow!

Hi all, awaiting delivery of my G05 (M50d) in the early winter here in Sweden.

As I drive frequently on ice and snow for skiing I want the very best tires and in my part of the world it is always studded tires.

My question is how NARROW tires can you have on the G05?

I know that the load index should be at least 107 and I guess that I cannot have any smaller rims than 19".

Reason for asking is that my old F15 (also M50d) is a bit wobbly on 255/50R19 107T XL with runflat Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 and I think that the tires are simply too wide.

Thanks!

Regards, Per

I run 20" 275 front and 315 rear studded on my F15 M50d in Stockholm and it doesn't wobble.

Thanks Fredrik! Great to hear how others are experiencing it!

My travel takes me up to the mountains 10+ trips per year and the roads are often covered with ice and snow so I want more stability.
