To add my thought, you risk rim damage each time you mount and un mount tires.... also, do 18" rims fit over the sport brakes?

18" narrow rims will cut through snow much better than wide rims with snow tires. Let me ask you question, what's your ultimate plan with the Z? Are you keeping it 4-5 years or do you think you'll get something else in 2 years? If keeping it 5 years, def. recommend a nice narrow snow tire setup like mine. Mine has tpms(Bc I'm OCD) but you can have a nice set from tirerack for around $1000-$1200 w/o tpms. If you're not going to keep the z for long, doesn't make sense to spend 1200-1300 bucks. Just seek other transportation or public transportation during snow days.

OP, if you can't afford wheels and tires just go tires. Find a touchless shop and use a tire diameter calculator online to get the front and rear tires close to each other. With your 9" front and 10" rear, safely you can only go as low as 235 front and 255 rear. This will cut the snow and be nice. Again though use the calculator online to find the sidewall height you need for both. Last, the price will also determine what size you buy. For example 275/35 lm60 are cheaper for me than 255/40. While the 255/40 on the front might be better, I'm not going to die using a 275/35 that's still a high performance winter tire.
