Winter Tire Help!!

Will these sized tires by fine on the stock 17 inch rims? 215/45R17

I have an 03 g35 sedan. wanna buy tires that are 215/45R17 all round. Will I have any problems? will the car look fine in terms of ride height. and will it drive fine?

That size is a hair under 2" shorter than the oe tire size. Can't promise they will work nicely with VDC and you speedo will be off for sure. Depending on the tire it may also be short on load capacity. I'd recommend against it.

No problems with a 235/50-17, the 245's a tad over what we recommend.
