Hi driven,

The sizes you mention…

205/55 17's front (circumference 81.3in)
225/55 17's rears (circumference 84.0in)

…are “right-on” as to overall-diameter and will work perfectly.


You ask about 225/55-17” all-square. That’s what I’m running (on a fussy 2003 VDC-equipped Performance model 350Z), and I have not had a problem with this all-square setup. I went with this setup so that I could rotate my winter tires. Buying winter tires is no fun.

Note: I did not have a good experience with 225/50-17” all-square setup. My VDC-equipped car did not like this arrangement.
