Finally got my winter tires installed on 17" wheels. The clearance with the front calipers is about 1/2" (3/8" under the weights). It's more than I had anticipated.

Ride is smooth and quiet. Not much noisier than the oem tires at low speed. I have yet to try them on the highway.
I think they are more quiet than the Hakka R2 were on my previous car. Less of that whistling noise on dry and warm pavement
Looking at my spare tire, it's a 190/90D16. So unless the wheel has a different shape than a regular one, it must be very tight on the front.
Now I'm ready for winter. Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow.
