help with winter wheels/tires setup fitment

I have a set of 225/50/17" FRONT and 235/50/17" REAR for winter setup. Trying to put them on earlier and they don't look like they will clear the break calipers on my 05' 6mt. Anyone out there with the same setup that fit for your 05' 6mt?? I also can't seem to unscrew off the TPSM (the sixth bolt) in the front wheels which everyone told me it's suppose to be very easy to take that bolt off. I almost broke it then ended up calling the dealer serivce. I was told the only way to take that off is you have to take off the break-pads which I never done in my life before. It will cost me roughly $100 if i bring to the dealer for them to do this. Snow storm is just around the corner. I hope my winter setup will fit for my car. Thanks in advance for any response.

I have the same winter setup on my 05 6MT. I just installed it this weekend. They seem like they wont fit over the caliper, and it is pretty close but they do with plently of room to spare. I dont quite understand what you are talking about with the last bolt. I dont see how the last bolt would have anything to do with the brake pads. Anyway, this setup fits perfectly on my car, good luck with removing the bolt. I actually had an air gun to remove and put the bolts back on which made it easier. Good luck.

Hey, thanks for the info. Make me feel so much better now.
I'll just bring it to the service dealer so they can put them on for me this Sat.
