Just got my winter sneakers for the 01 box s...got some winter sport m3's. I went with the 205/50 r17 in the front and 225/45 r17(orig 255/40) for the rear...now someone is telling me 225 is to small for the 17x8.5 and also that the car wont handle right. The manual states 225/45 for winter tires and I know a smaller patch is better for winter...is this size ok?? Are others using 225's for the winter?

TIA
