[V8] 235/45-17 snow tires?

BBK=big brake kit.  Made with RS2 caliper adapters 01-03 S8 front 323mm by
30mm rotors and Porsche 928GTS calipers in front and S8 rear carriers with
stock V8q calipers and 04+ S4 rear 300mm by 22mm rotors.  Require 17" wheel
minimum so that is the reason for the larger then stock wheels 3 times the
braking power.

I'd run 15" wheels if there was a way to get much more stopping power then
the g60's allow and the UFo's are nice, but very complicated and only single
piston.

Thanks
Sean
