Hi

I want to get a set of winter tires for my 06 G35C. My question is this:

I hv the M6 sport package and they come w/ the summer tire/rim package.Therefore will winter tires w/ 17" rims work well? I am afraid the stock suspension is too low for 17" rims. Will it be ok or do I need to raise the suspension when winter comes?

I am thinking of getting the Dunlop M3s w/ 17" rims. The tires are 225/50/17 for the fronts and 225/55/17 for the rears.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tks

TireRack shows 225/50/17 front and 235/50/17 as the proper "minus sizing" for running 17" tires. I'd stick with the staggered size to avoid any unwanted changes in handling.
