Default Steelies on a 2000 GS400

I live in Chicago and we get a lot of snow. I was just wondering would a 15 inch steelies work on a gs400 with snow tires?

many says that smaller wheels are better for winter but 16 are small and cheap to buy used and with 15 not sure it will clear brakes (i do have 17 is250 wheels as a winter wheels with blizzaks)
