215/60/17

Will that size fit on the factory 17's without rubbing on everything? Looking to purchase snow tires in the next couple of days.

Thanks!

Good question. 215/60-17 has a sidewall that's 0.6" taller than stock and 5% greater circumference. Dunno if it'll clear but it will have you sitting taller and drop your speedometer readings by ~5%.

When I swap out tires, I'm more likely to look at 225/50-17. As a wider tire, it might not be ideal for snow but it's a more common size with near-identical sidewall height.

I decided to just go with Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3's in a 205/55/17 flavor! Hopefully they live up to the reviews!
