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'd say there might be specialty chains made for tires with shallower sidewalls- so the chains don't rub against the rim and create rash? As far as the wells and the drop, if you can get them on and tighten them enough, it shouldn't be a problem.
