Tire fitment

Hey guys i have 2 sets of snow tires. One I am putting on my car but not sure about fitment. My car is lowered with tanabe springs. its a 2003. Now the tires i got are almost brand new blizzaks 225/50 17. will i have fitment problems (rubbing) if putting these on? I also have a set of dunlop snows that are 225/45 17...which ever one is better to fit the other set is going up on the for sale post 400 obo. so if anyone has any input let me know. im going to be searching the forums but i figure why not post this up. thanks

I would go 225/45/17 only 1.4 too fast from the OE tires.

Diameter of the 45's is closer to oe than 50's. The 50's are pushing the height limits. With it being a snow tire, that's more aggressive in the tread and shoulder area, I'd bet you might have some fit issues.
