What size of winter tire wheels needed for 330i SP?

[bing330i]

I will move from CA to DC next year. In preparation for the weather change I plan buying a set of OEM wheels for winter tires. I have a 2002 330i with Sports Pkg. It comes with M68 2 of 225/45-17 in front, 2 of 245/40-17 in rear. My question is what SIZE of wheels should I get? Same as the existing M68S? or 4 17s in same size? or even 16s (I do not think that will fit the 330i SP though I may be wrong).

Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. TIA !

For winter we'd suggest either minus sizing to 16" wheels or use 17" wheels of the same size on all four corners with either 205/50R17 or 225/45R17 all around.

We do have one 16" wheel that clears the brakes on your car.
