I have winter wheels for the car already but I'm wondering if I should bother to change out the wheels right there before heading out. I have to put in spacers as well.

Just had to weigh in on this one. Be very careful on those tires. The 370Z is pretty spin-happy from my experience even on warm pavement. The summer tires will be fine provided there is no surface contaminant (ice, sleet, etc.), but do NOT! get on it what-so-ever. You can drive it, just stay very well within the envelope.

No-matter how long you drive on summer tires or "warm them up", the road will always be cold and they won't grip for beans.
