Tires Question
I would purchase the MOMO GT2 wheels (size 17 x 8) to replace my stock wheels (17 x 7.5 front and 17 x 8.5 rear) for my W203 AMG this winter.
Does anyone know whether 235/45/17 winter tires would fit for the wheels and the car (i.e. will it affect the odometer / speedometer and etc.)?
The tire dealer recommend to purchase the winter tires "Hankook W400" since they are cheaper and good in snow.
Any suggestions?

Tire Circumference Calculator
Found this while searching for a calculator when I was hunting for snows.

The offset of the original rims are 37mm, the ones which I would like to purchase are 38mm.
The tire dealer has already tried putting the rim at the front. The inner spokes of the rims have enough gaps / spaces avoid striking the big caliper.
By the way, it seems to me the table is so implicated.

Thanks for the reply.
I got my snow tires today, they are 235/45/17 Hankook W400 (save me some $$$ for something else). There is no special feeling on the car. It seems okay to me.
The tires did not hit the spring cups.
The MOMO GT2 rims look better than the stock rims (AMG).
However, the only thing which disappointed me is: most tire dealers do not sell Dunlop M3 snow tires in here. Pirelli W210 are more expensive compared to Dunlop M3.
