my snow tires are 195-65-15 and they were great in early 2007.
I keep thinking about getting these to replace my current stock wheels (Enkei NT03-M) (edited to embed gigantic URL and avoid widening the page)
Almost the same as the stock wheels, but the offset is 35mm instead of 45mm, so I'm guessing this means the wheels will be sticking out of the wells by 10mm. Not too sure how good / bad this is from a rubbing standpoint, and a spacer would be useless.
(edit: now that I look back, stocks are 17" x 7" x 45mm, and these are 17" x 7.5" x 35mm, which seems to make more sense.)
It'd also be a good opportunity to try something different for summer tires; the Falken 512's feel pretty good, but less so than before (that's how it always goes, I guess). This would also be a good opportunity to be a good samaritan for someone looking for stock wheels.

17x7.5 Konig Feathers in gold
wrapped in 225/45/17 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT
and Hankook Winter iPike W409 for the stock wheels (the reviews on the tires seem pretty good (plus the tread design is pretty agressive kinda like the BFG's which i like)
what do you guys think, they will be goin on my 06 FM tC and for suspension im upgrading to H&R Coilovers with the H&R rear sway bar. all happening in t-minus 2 weeks
