Unhappy Winter set up

Hi all
Yes this car will see some snow . Not much but enough to get some winter set up.
I was lookin for some tires and wheel set up. A square set up but found some interesting deal
With an OEM staggered wheels package from a take off dealer for 500$ including TPMS.

I m having trouble finding the same tire manufacturer for 225/50 and 245/45

Is there any equivalent set up that would be more convenient?

Thx

Drop down a size or two, like 215 & 225, but use a better tire. You will get better traction with a narrower tire in the snow.

$182 US = $249 CDN
$165 US = $225 CDN
Add installation charges and tax, you are getting close to $300 CDN/tire.

I bumped the OD a notch to boost ground clearance and run the same size all around. 245/50/18 was fitted to 18x8" wheels out of a 350Z.
