The 225/50/18 is technically too narrow for the 9" rear rim but it would fit anyway, and look a little stretched. Given that in NY area it's not snowing that often the staggered setup will offer better dry grip, and do fine in the plowed and not too deep snow. The Z can't handle anymore than about 3 inches of snow anyway because of the ground clearance.
