Yes. The rear wheel footprint will still be a little wider in the back due to the wheel width. There is a chance you may not like the look of the rear wheels since the wheel lip can stick out a tad - less sidewall.

Guys:
It's getting cooler here in the US and was thinking about the winter. I need to get me a set of snow tires for the MI winter and was wondering what the reccs from you guys were. I have the OEM 17" factory rims and am not planning on changing rims or rim size for the winter....
Any advice/help would be appreciated!

I think that the Dunlop Sport M3's are definitely the tire to have for the MI winters. I have 2 friends that use this setup and swear by it. The Blizzaks are a good second option.RiRacing:
Are the Nokian tires you mentioned for nordic winters non-studded? Can't use studded tires in Michigan (at least not that I know of).
