You have two choices: buy a set of 16 inch wheels and snow tires, or invest in a set of Spikes-Spiders. These are around $300+ USD and will clear the bodywork and suspension of an Aero with stock 17 inch wheels. http://www.spikes-spider.com/ Keep in mind that the summer performance tires that came on your car are deady in snow, so you would at least have to purchase a set of all-season tires. I suggest you wait until next Fall and buy a 16 inch winter tire/ wheel set from your dealer. It is a good bargain. Keep your pretty alloys and summer tires for the rest of the year.
