will these work?? 225-55-17??

Hey guys I'm new to the g35 site and need winter tires and I have a coupe I just wanted to know will the tire size 225-55-17 work instead of putting on 235-50-17? I tried using the tire cal. and it says the 225-55-17 is bigger but is that bad?

Tire Size Comparison

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
235/50-17 4.6in 13.1in 26.3in 82.5in 768 0.0%
225/55-17 4.9in 13.4in 26.7in 84.0in 754 1.9%


Not bad. 1.9% isn't going to affect you much when these are for snow tire use.
