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

not if you properly sized your 19" tires
