Why not go with a 215/40/17 which are quite common and are only nominally bigger?

I honestly know very little about tires.
That said, increasing the width while maintaining the same aspect ratio will mean the tire is taller, no? So it'll screw with the speedo?
None of the tire shops said anything about resizing...
And all the shops I called said it was rare, one said it was used only on the FiST, and older Miata and a Fiat (I assume the 500?)
Tires in Miata diameter are probably plentiful on 15 and 16 inch rims if you're willing to downsize
Does tirerack not ship to Canada?
Just buy a set of winter tires with them and either buy a set of rims with them and they will send everything mounted and and balanced already or just get the wheels and have the local shop mount and balance them.

also, just buy some 16 inch steelies for winter. tire rack will set you up. looks like a winter tire steelies package is arounf 560 usd
Fiestas are, I believe, the last Ford products using a 4-lug wheel.
