I want to get a set of AMG monoblock staggered 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rear for non-winter. I want to use my current C7 (17x7.5) wheels with snow tires mounted for the winter. Are the C7's too impractical for snow or not? I live in MA where the winters can be a crapshoot, but usually lean toward harsh. I am not a skier, I just need a reliable set of winter wheels to reduce the white knuckle effect of a rear-wheel drive in a 3-4 inch work commute. I know the ideal would be to swap the C7's for 15 or 16 inch wheels, but I wanted to avoid the hassle of having to sell/ship the C7's. Anyone here use 17 inch rear-wheel drive snows? If yes, how do they compare with 15" or 16" wheels? Will I regret this decision to go with 17x7.5 winter wheels?

on the c36, with 225-45-17 and 245-40-17, the manual suggests 215-45-17 for winter tires.
