Before I spend $800 today...
...I'm getting Mich PS2's

225/45/17 for Front (will they work?) on my stock 17's?

I've researched it but I need one more confirmation...

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

yup. The tires will be slightly wider than stock wheels up front but work just fine. No rubbing issues, better traction and braking also.

Is that $800 for all four tires? I thought PS2's were more expensive than that.

+1 on Yes.

I have that size on mine, works just fine.
If you autocross you see a small but measurable reduction in understeer with that size on the front.
Go for it!

yeah, $800 is a great price for all four!

Thats great. I wanted to put PS2's on my car but didn't want to spend the extra money. I have too many other hobbies and humans to support.
