No problem Joe. My car originally came with 205/55/16 all around and it worked fine on the street. I would choose that as an ideal snow tire setup as well. With 17s you don't have to even change wheels. Just run 225/45/17 on the 7 and 8.5s as they will fit on both. Larger tires will fill out the wheel well better but if that is not important to you, ignore it.

For unofficial track days I run 255/40/17 all around for max tire life and 4 corner rotation. BSX class requires 225/255 stagger this year so that is what I run for official timed runs. I do find the stagger to be a touch faster.
