Question Winter tires and rims

Couple of questions regarding winter tires and rims for my 08 Type S (I know it's early for this but I'm looking to get a deal before prices go up in the fall/winter)

1) What is the smallest tire and rim I can put on the Type S? I believe I have to stick with a 17" rim because of the Brembo’s correct?
2) What is the easiest and most economical way to change out the tires yourself, what tools are needed? TIA

17x8's are minimum size. The offset has to clear the Brembos. I suggest getting a set of used 04-06 TL or 07-08 TL-S wheels and just installing 235/45/17 winter tires.
