HELP: Winter Tire/Wheel Combo

[jones3182]

I have an 05 6mt coupe with the staggered 19"s. I have to drive the car in the winter and have heard different answers as to what exact size I need for tires and wheels. I plan on getting a tire/wheel combo with 17" wheels and Tire Rack told me the tires should be different sizes for traction control reasons (I believe they said fronts; 225/50 and rears 225/55). Infiniti told me I can have 225/55/17s all around. Anyone have any suggestions??

I know a few of our Canadian members have a winter tire setup...Not sure on what they use. Is there a price difference between the two? I know the rear rim is wider than the front rim, but I couldn't tell you if the traction control system would be ok with any setup.
