Snow tires...

Its that season again... I just have a quick question maybe someone can answer for me... I need some snow tires and I am wondering if its a good idea to buy 215/45/17 for the S-Lites... I know its wider and taller of a tire but its CHEAPER then other tire sizes, and does anyone know if I will rub with these?

Thanks,
Jm

no problem... though consider 15s (very good) or 16's (my favorite) since the higher sidewall and narrower profile mean better handling, better snow traction, and more rim protection.
