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 have never seen a car with chains on of all my life. I'm in atlantic Canada
 ..snow plows make a nice job of opening the roads. however studs are usual around here.
