Though I think that depends on your brake size for the 17s.

Was interested to know the two different sizes of 20" though.. My 'new' D3 has the narrower ones on the 8.5J rim, and a W12 I looked at had the 255/35/20 on a 9J rim which looked obviously wrong.

I know this is a D3 thread, but D2 winters are 225/15 R17.
(as vaguely seen in my signature picture)
