> Hi all. my stock tires i had were 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 front/rear respectively. for the winters i have put on 225/55/17 all around. anyone see an issue with this? [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com) suggested 225/50/17 fronts and 225/55/17 rears. so my front is a little bit higher, any issues with this?  
> thanks.

First of all welcome,  
I am not trying to trash on you but you need to do some research before making any and all purchases.  
[www.my350z.com](http://www.my350z.com) is a good place to start, and I highly recommend you start doing some research before making any further purchases.

As for your tire selection, you exceeded the maximum 3% increase  
[http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit](http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit)

A few things you might want to look out for…  
Have you seen your SLIP light come on?  
This could cause problems with your VDC as well.  
Also the 3% increase over OEM, can potentially cause brake problems.

Best of luck
