You can fit 255/40 18" winter tires on your stock rear wheels (I'm guessing you have a Sport model with style 124s?). Lot's of winter tire choices in that size.

There are plenty of discussions about winter tires here. If you have no luck finding them, check out the Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com.) They'll be able to recommend the best tire for you based on location and climate...
