Last winter I ordered a specialty set tires & wheels from TireRack. They fit the Sport brakes perfectly.
225/50R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60
255/45R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60
4 18x8 Sport Edition F10 Silver
I left SUVs behind at every stoplight.
Good wishes on your journey!

Awesome info. Good to know someone else is driving a lot and and through the winter as well. I'll take a look around for the F10s as well.
I assume you had the 50s in back and the 45s up front

The narrower wheels like that, or like I run do look a little funny as they sit in the wheel well a fair bit, but you can space them out, if your running that narrower wheel, I think you said they were a 18x7...I chose not to, as it helps keep and the crap from the road off the quarter panel and in the wheel well...up to you. you may also want to look for a set of base 370 wheels, or a set of 350 wheels like I did, their cheap and they fit.

I didn't even think of the 350 wheels that's not a bad idea.
