This all depends on which wheels you go with. If you go with a square set of winter wheels...then you'd also take into consideration the rear wheel's specs in regard to if you would need spacers.

For instance, the 20" BMW 611 wheel style winter wheels listed in the database for the "square" tire set up...has a 32mm offset...if mounted with the 285/40/20 tire...it pushes the rear wheel out to about the same place the staggered rear summer wheel's 38mm offset and 11½" width sits:
  • 10" x 20" w/40mm offset (front)
  • 10½" x 20" w/32mm offset (rear)
