[djomlas]

225/45r17 Blizzak WS-50 Snow tires

i know that the front ones will be ok, bu what about the back ones? i have 255s on there now, but obviously not winters.

It's about a 987, but interesting anyhow:

I run 205/55s on the front and 225/50s on the rear, but on 16 inch wheels.

[djomlas]

oo that was a good link.
but back to my Q, will they be too narrow for the back wheels? i mean the narrower the better, but will it fit right?

Tirerack says that size tire will fit a 7 to 8.5 inch wide rim:
