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

Unless you are going to new york city where you will not need to drive the car, you want winter tires. You can get General Altimax artic from tire rack on inexpensive wheels so you can swap them yourself. No reason not to do it that way. The car drives awesome in snow on winter tires, and sort of scary on all seasons.
