So we're supposed to have crazy crappy weather here this weekend, which brings me back to something I wondered last winter but never really bothered much to pursue. My car isn't lowered yet, so can I use cables on my 17" wheels without worrying about damaging the wheel well? I've got 225/45/17s on. What if my car is lowered? (it'll be 1.5" lowered) Can I still use them, or does lowering it rule that out?
You guys in snowy places, how do you go about it? --------------------  |

I'm on 16' wheels, 1.8 drop and I just bought some new Michelin x-ice tires I love them so far no extreme blizzards up here yet but I never got stranded when we had 6"+ of snow plus no slidding when braking lol.
 I didn't want to drive my car during winter but couldn't find a good DD yet so I went with the new snow tires just for safety I no longer fear winter I tell you that.  And remember don't cheap out on tires they do more then people think.....
