Thinking of getting a winter tire setup but not sure if it's worth it.

If you DD the 370, then buy Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires. I drive my Z all year and haven't gotten stuck in 6 inches of snow

I have the base with sport package what wheels would you recommend. Really don't want huge 19" snow tires. Very expensive.

Buy used 18" wheels from a base model on this forum. I bet you can get them for relatively cheap. And they're still lightweight wheels.

Well if you get 19's you have to get staggered.

If you buy the base model 18's, you can run 245/45/18 on all four tires, even with different sized widths.
