You want a smaller width during the winter so that your tires dig instead of skate. I also put 25mm rear and 15mm front spacers on so that the wheels don't look so sunk in, but that's just a cosmetic choice, it doesn't affect performance.

Edit: Tirerack will be able to tell you what equipment will fit based on your make/model/VIN. Maybe you can translate that to the used market, maybe not.
Thank you, very helpful info.
