It depends on the tire size. What size snow tires did you order? Do you have a coupe or a sedan? It's the outer diameter of the tire that needs to be the same as your stock tires to keep the speedometer/odometer in sync.

That is actually the stock size for the '03 cloth sedan that comes with 16" wheels, and is very close to the 17" tire diameter. It's roughly 0.7% larger, or when your speedometer reads 60, you'll actually be going 60.4. Negligible difference.
