Default 16 Z06- What 18 or 19 inch wheels will work? Want to try winter tire or non runflat

I want to be able to drive the Z in the winter and also think the smaller diameter rim will allow a bigger sidewall (same overall tire diameter) resulting in a softer ride. Maybe a 10 inch rim width will allow me plenty of tire choices. The stock wheels don't allow much tire choice. I am interested in possibly the michelin alpine 4 's. What do you recommend?

I assume driving the stock michelins once below 40 degrees will get dangerous as they lose traction?
