Default Winter Tire Size

Im running 225/50r/16's on my stock rims right now. Those are high performance Ventus Summers, but i need snows. Do i need to get the exact same tire size for snows if i mount them on the same rim? And if i do get steelies or some old rim, what does the offset have to be?

I'm running 205/55/16s right now. You don't have to run the EXACT same tire size, just make sure all 4 are the same size and brand. If you get steelies I think it's a 35mm offset but I could be wrong. Just try to find a tire and/or rim thread on here, there's a new one almost every week.
