Default Tires / wheels fitment question and winter tires..

Hi everyone.

I have a a two questions:

1) Will the 2009 IS 250 wheels/tires fit on our cars? The IS wheel size is 17" and the tires are 225/45/17 compared to ours which is 215/55/17.

2) Anybody have winter wheels on your car? If so, any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I've been running 215/55R17 MICHELIN XICE XI2 on OEM FIT NEW STEEL RIMS - 17" with TPMS SENSORS since 2011 and satisfied except for the new TPMS which seems to require reprog each season change.
