Ss/tc winter tire question.

Well, I found a sweet deal on winter tires for next year for my tc. I'm going to be running 17" rims and I was gonna go with a 205/50/17 but I found a good deal on a set of 215/50/17. Will these fit? I'm lowered on sportlines but will probably putting my stock springs back in.

Thanks in advance

$50 sounds a lot better than the G+ I had to spend on mine

Yeah but buy the time I get them and buy the rims and installation, I'll be close to that.

What brand of tires are you getting brand new for $50 each? Sounds like a cheap chinese tire. I avoid selling the cheap chinese ones at work, I'd rather lose the sale than sell them.

How much are you lowered? Are you like slammed or no? Also are you running 215/50/17 or 205/50/17.

You'll be fine. I ran 225 50 17 while lowered in SSC ( close to sportlines, and just barely rubbed in the front while backing up turning down hills ( read very little)
