Snow

I bought a new RX-8 last week and I love it! Black, GTM, NAV, front air dam, side aero flares, spoiler, rotary accent package. I do plan to do some winter driving with this car and I am getting snow tires and new rims. How concerned should I be about the even lower clearance with the front air dam and aero flares in the snow?

If you are running 17 wheels with 225/50/17or 225/55/17 tires you shouldn't notice anything more than about an inch or so. You should have no problems.
