I strongly recommend against the Kuhmos although I believe they do make a 225 50 17. I had major vibration issues, radial pulls (even on rears- which is RARE), and premature wear on my Altima and I vow never to buy Kuhmo again.

Or you could downsize to 225/45R17s if you insist on running Kumhos and you want to stay in spec with your stock rims. Keep in mind that you'll be slightly over the limit with respect to recommended speedo error and you'll experience a much harsher ride with the 225/45R17s. Then, of course, there's always the thorny issue of increased fender gap . . .
