Those will fit just fine. I have the exact same wheels, but with Dunlop Graspic DS-2 tires in the exact same size.

5000 miles and no problems.

I have the performance package
The sizes you mentioned are the same stagger set up as the 18" summer Pilots......they will work just fine...

I put Dunlop Winter Sport M3's on my car. I went with four (4) 225/55/17, and I have ASA KA3 rims, also 17x7.5

I have over 3,000 miles and so far no problems at all.....
VDC/ABS systems work fine, and no slip light comming on either....The set up I have allows me to rotate my tires each season. I put about 8,000 miles on the tires in winter, so It should allow me two to three years with rotation.....
They ride a little better than the Pilot sports due to the larger side wall, and overall performance is just slightly less the the summer tires...

Thanks guys.

I more thing... My g35c is 100% undrivable when even the smallest amount of snow is on the ground.

Last night there were some flakes coming down, and maybe a 1/4 inch of snow. I couldn't get my car over 20 mph going down my street. Either the VDC would kick in or if I turn off the VDC the back wheels slide at the slightest touch of the gas.

Now, if I switch to to WS-50s, will they really make that much of a differance?

I am worried about buying these and having them not work as well as expected.

Has anyone been in my situation where they used the stock tires on snow, switched to snow tires, and can report on the differance?

yes there is a big difference in tires with the ws-50. I live in Northern Virginia and the snow this weekend is not a issue. Only on inclines it takes a second to get going since the VDC will kick in.
