Opinions please for winter setup

I have weighing between getting 17's with the Blizzaks or 18's with the Dunlop M3's. Granted, the 17's will have more bite with the deep fluff. However, I live in NY so we have plowed roads so the 18's would more then suffice.

However, I do have questions. Did you guys bother installing the TPMS sensors? Get new ones altogether? Or remove them from the stocks and plug them into the new set?

Lastly, with the 19's the rears are 8.5" wide and the fronts are 8" wide. Will it affect the VDC if I get 8" all around?

Thanks.

Here is my $.02 beans for you.
I went with the 17's for more protection from the road. You know salt streets
= lg pot holes. I have the 350Z wheels with a 225/50 & 225/55 with no
problems with VDC. Also I have no TPMS on there with no probs. Light
went off after the 2 or 3rd day.

Hope this helps

I was considering on getting the stock 17's or 18's from the G or Z. Personally, I was not too concerned with the TPMS since I normally spend the 2 minutes to check my tires monthly anyway.

I see that you are on LI too. Do you know of anyone selling their's (wheels)?
