Can I run stock 17's with S-Tein springs?

I got an 04 sedan currently with after market 19" axis mod wheels. I put in G35 coupe shocks/struts and 350Z S-Tein lowering springs. If I wanted to go back to my stock 17" rims could I do it? It seems like there isnt enough space anymore for the stock 17's.

I may be driving from FL to Mexico soon and rather than wear out my Proxo19's I was thinking of slapping the OEM's back on for the trip. Opinions?

No rubbing issues? It just seems like they would be so tight in there. I layed the OEM tire on top of the after market just to get an idea on fitment and I dont think I could fit a whole finger in there.

I would have to guess that your OEM tires are actually narrower that the 19s. Why wouldn't they fit?

They are narrower but also seem taller than the low profile 19's
