What is the goal here?

I mean, you're putting all seasons to get through the snow season, just slap them on your existing wheels.

Stock suspension, all season tires, oem wheels . . . lets just throw looks out of the equation and go with cheap and practical (as can be for driving a Z in the snow)

I guess I wasn't clear enough. The goal is not to drive in snow during the winter months (although it would be nice to be able to take our summer-only toy out of storage for a winter emergency), but to be able to do so in other months if snow should unexpectedly happen, and, more importantly, to be able to operate in cold, wet weather during Edmonton's few "summer" months.

Not only that, but I'd like to be able to rotate wheels / tires however I wish without having to remove tires from wheels, and this means having all four wheels the same.

The more I learn about this, the more I think those wheels can / should be all rears rather than fronts, but I'm far from certain about that. At this point I'd like to be able to get away with simply buying two rears for the front and not installing spacers anywhere. But maybe there are good handling reasons not to do this, rather than aesthetic.
