Rich,
I know some will disagree with me. But, I think you only need 2 snow tires UNLESS your son lives in an area where you get LOTS of snow. Four will be marginally better and your steering will be affected at HIGH speeds if you only have 2. But, on all of my previous cars, I just used 2 on the rear. As far as wheels, I would not try to fit 15 inch wheels on a car designed for 14 inch. The real test is whether the offset is the same. If it is not the same or very close, you will need spacers and new bolts and you might find that the wheels are rubbing on brake components or other parts that should not be contacted. You can purchase cheap steel wheels from tirerack when you get the tires. Blizzaks are the best (IMHO), but I also had cheap winterguards on my 126- and they worked very well. Donald H.
