In winter on stock suspension and the oem BBS, I would stick with no bigger than the oem 225/45/17 size personally. Skinnier tires in snow are better too idk why people seem to think 245 is a good idea

for winter you want as narrow as possible.

245/40 is already too wide for a 7.5" wheel.

215/45 or even a 205/50 would be my choice for winters.
