Roy,

Although (as your 98 will) my 96 M3 came with the staggered front/rear wheel sizes, I chose the same size all round for winter use. The wheels are ACT model LS from Tire Rack in 16x7.5 size. Frankly I chose them because they were very inexpensive at only US$119 each. The design turned out to be quite good looking, a polished basketweave. Don't know whether they're still available, Tire Rack can advise or offer alternatives.

Using 16" wheels in winter protects your rims better and offers a more compliant ride over icy ruts.

Tires are Pirelli P210 in 225/50HR16.

Regards,

Neil
