225/45R17 Blizzaks
 

These fit ok on stock rims? I can get a good deal on them. Opinions appreciated.

Thanks!

Yeah, those will fit. That's the common size for autocross tires.

They will fit.

With winter tires staying with a thin tire helps the tire cut down a bit. The car comes with 215's, but going square adds a bit of sidewall flex which should help retain grip. My preference in winter tires is to go with a slightly taller sidewall, with a square-fitting or OEM width tire, as this helps protect the wheel from bumps, curbs, ice dams, and pot holes, all common things in the winter.

They should do pretty good, if you could get 225/55's that would be really nice on the stock wheels, and give you a teeny tiny bit of extra clearance.

(I'm also really into 16" wheels for winters on these cars, so my advice may be missing the mark a bit!) Just about ANY winter tire that fits is infinitely better than the stock summers, and if it fits decent they'll be head and shoulders above even an all season.
