I want to use the stock rims for winter, and buy 18 or 19 rims for summer later.

The only problem is that 215/50/17 tires just don't exist, or are extremly expensive, and I could have 215/45/17 for a very good price.

What kind of problem this will do, at 100km/h what will be the speed difference from stock size?

Thanks!
Jonathan

Michelin Canada lists a Pilot Alpin winter tire in 205/50R17 89H, so that's almost identical to the stock 215/50R17. But yeah, expensive, msrp $303cdn/tire.
