I'm replacing my tires and wanted to know which of these would fit on my stock 17s?

I have 235/50/17 on my 2004 G35x with the OEM 17's... slightly lower profile, stiffer sidewall, (50 vs 55) and a wider footprint on the road (235 vs 215 20mm increase)... i have Conti ExtremeContact DWS All-Seasons.. rides on rails, wet and dry!! very nice!! overall tire diameter is the same, so no change in speedo reading.
OP, you can basically run 3 sizes on your stock 17" wheels and not have issues with the speedo.
215/55-17 (stock 26.3")
225/55-17 (26.7", +1.5% or so)
235/50-17 (stock 26.3")
A 245 shouldn't be run on a 7" wheel. A 225/50-17 would fit, but it would increase the already huge fender gap.

Profile is the same because the stock 215/55-17 and a 235/50-17 have the same 26.3" diameter. Sidewall stiffness isn't directly related to the 50/55 component. It's the load rating of a tire that will tell you about sidewall stiffness. Stock 215/55-17 DWS's have a load rating of 94, the 235/50-17's are 96. But Yokohama S.Drives in the stock size are 98. My winter tires are 98 in the stock size, but I run 225/55-17's which are 101. Both are 55 series, but one is stiffer.

I recently purchased Hankook ventus s1 noble 2 as they are 50k mile tires. I was also looking at Falken Azenzis pt722 a/s, hose are a 60k mile tire. Read ratings on the web for Falken and TireRack for the Hankooks. Both have really good reviews for handling.
btw i have 235/45/18.

I am in socal so no snow and rain is few and far between so i cant comment there. They handle great on dry pavement and the steering feels easier around corners. They arent as quiet new as the kumho ecsta 4x i had before, when they were new. They are relatively quiet though, except tar strips are kind of loud. Tire rack has a test done on them and rated them 1st in their class. I dont drive that crazy and am looking for a longer lasying tire. If they do that the i will be happy. Only time will tell and theyve been only 1 week. I got the s1 noble 2 for $830 otd with road hazard.
