I've done a lot of searching and used the tire size calculator, but am still not sure about this. My car came stock with 19's (225/40/19 on the fronts, and 245/40/19 on the rears) in a staggered set up.

Is it really okay for me to go un-staggered with all 225/50/17's tires on rims that are 17 x 7.5 with a 32mm offset? When I use the tire size calculator, the fronts are only off by .8%...great! However, the rears are off by 3.2%, and I remember reading a few posts that said not to go over +-3%..........

Greatly appreciate your guys' advice, thank you!

Welcome to NICO!

There are a few guys from the north who use winter tire setups.

Hang tight, I'm sure someone will post up.
