Default Winter Wheel Setup

So, I just purchased a 2016 is 300 f sport and really like the stock wheels on it. I don't want them to get torn up in the winter, so I wanted to get a winter setup, but have heard different things about the wheels needed. Some people say that you can get 17x7.5 in the front and back, some say that they have to be staggered just like the stock ones. Could someone tell me which it is? I would like to start looking so I can get a good deal on some wheels, but I need to make sure I am getting the right size.

The only issue I can see with 17s is the front brakes. If you can find a set of wheels with the right offset, itll be just fine.

the only thing is that make sure you run all 4 tires the same brand, model, and size

I'm running 17x7.5 +35 RWC's all around for my winter setup. It all depends on the offset and spoke design whether it will clear the brakes or not.
