Hi!

I need help purchasing new wheels and tires and was hoping someone could help.
Basically, all I want are beefier tires that noticeably stand out (wider) just a little from the car's body.
I was hoping to do this without a lift or I think you could do some spacing trickery.
I essentially just want to buy a set of tires.

questions
1. what size tires/wheels can i buy?

2. i've googled and some say wide tires are bad in the snow and i've found comments that say otherwise.
which is it? i dont want to be unsafe come winter.

3. finally, since i only have enough for one set (tires and wheels), if wider tires are bad in the snow, does anyone know a good size with a wider than stock look that would work?
i currently have the stock rims.

thanks for the help guys!
here are links to images of the 'stand out' look more or less what im after
