Not Professional Advice????
Talked to Tiremag about putting 17" winter rims on my 2005 coupe 6MT that currently has 19" rims. This is what they said :
"I do believe that the 215/45R17 Blizzak LM50 is the wrong size and
the wrong speed rating for your vehicle. The 215/45R17 is 2 inches shorter than what you are presently running on if you have a 19" package. Also the speed rating is Q rated (soft sidewall ) this means that you would lose the proper handling.
I really hesitate to quote the wrong product for you vehicle, it's just not professional."
I would consider 225/50R17, but not 18". Am I wrong?

225/50/17 will work as well.
