Based on my search I settled for 17/8 with the closest offset to stock (most probably I will get Enkei TS5 - 17/8 with 45 offset) and want to warp them with the MPS4s (225/45/17). The stock rims I want to keep fo winter and planed to get an all season tire like the AS3+.
I am not an expert and never had separate summer/winter sets. Based on my experience I am not sure if I really will need solid winter tires. My daily commute will be max 15-20 miles.

I decided to have 2 sets but still not sure about the winter. MPS4s should be fine in from mid spring until snowy days.
Will see. Information provided in this forum helps a lot.

Thanks

If you have a dedicated set of winter rims (stock OEM), you might as well get dedicated winter tires instead of all seasons. I am not sure how winter gets in New York though and what kind of snow/how much snow you would get.
