yes I run these for my summer tires. 225/55/17 goodyear GS-D3's (6ply). they fit fine all the way around. if you are using your good rims I honestly would look for some 16" steelies and 205/60/16 tires. I think snows in that size plus steel wheels run about 380 bucks.

or you can get some cheap aluminum mags. In most places teh salt and stuff will eat your wheel's finish.

Works just fine. You can go 235/50R17, too. However, for winter tires, narrower is better.

 

I am trying to figure out the wheel widths for the 17s. The rears use 235s, and fronts use 225s, so they have to be a bit wider in the rear?

on the SEDAN, all four are 17x7 and you can run 235's on a 7 inch rim

as far as the coupe? I dunno
