I have Blizzak LM-60s on 18R225 wheels. That's the smallest wheel I could find that fits over the Sport Package brake calipers - you're best off with the smallest and narrowest wheel you can find for snow tires. But like I said, even with that setup the car handled just fine. I've been on freezing cold dry pavement (summer tires would be hockey pucks there) and completely snow-covered roads: no issues. Haven't used snow chains and had plenty of traction to usually start in first.
