Tire profile questions
Still trying to find a set of winter tires to throw on my stock C32 AMG rims. I know for sure I can put 225/45/17's on every rim. I have found only two sets in my area but they are not a profile of 45. Can you let me know if I would run into any problems with what I listed below? I am looking for a used set because the car is not going to be driven in the winter. Only in an emergency like if the truck is in the shop
1st set
225/50 R 17 94H Studless winter tires
2nd set
225/55R/17
Thanks

too tall especially 225/55-17
[(225 x 0.55 x 2) / 25.4] + 17= tire OD. (26.74 inches)
did you see my post regarding snow tires. i have 2 sets. make an offer on the entire wheel plus tire package. or if you want just tires i may be able to sell you 4. see thread below for pix.
i'm pulling the car for winter. i have my beater and the jeep.

I did see those TY but out of my price range. I am looking at spending no more than $250-$300 just tires (4). I have found a couple a Nokian and Dunlop Graspic set for between $250-300 but just missed them by a day 
I have a winter better also I would just like to have winter tires on the car in case need to use it.

i hadn't posted a price tho. just said how much they were new.
if you want 4 bridgestone blizzak LM-22 225/45-17 in great shape i've got them. i have 2 complete sets - one i had on my car for 3 winters and still good for 2 more. i'll keep those.... the other set is like brand new. (see the photos in the link). this set came from my friend who had a slk 32. he barely drove on the tires as he parked the car over the one winter he had it.
these are hi speed winter tires.
i'll pm you my tele #. i think we can work something out. where do you live? if you are close then that will make things much easier.
