@ARTBRZ @churchx
Thanks both of you - what's the best way to figure out fitment? I suppose I can measure from center of the hub to the arch of the fender - would that suffice?

I don't think that adjusting height via coils is really an option I'd like to pursue since doing that would require additional expenses for corner balancing and alignment. Besides, I don't use the car to commute. The snow tires are more for peace of mind in the event I get caught in the snow during a weekend trip.

Is there a noticeable difference between 215 and 205? My gut tells me there isn't really but I've never tried them out.

Thanks again!
