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

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.

To see it and our other winter packages, check out our winter specific site here http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AB2&...nter/index.jsp
