Unfortunately, you can't find rear winter tires in 305 width. The widest winter tire that I've seen is a 295, and you need to run that on a different wheel.

What is the sizing for the 18" rims? I did a search but can't seem to find sizes listed on the site

Pirelli sotto zeros are basically your only choice in 19s. I'm not sure you'll have an easy time finding 18s that will clear the brakes.

295s should fit fine on the stock rims

I think 18s will clear steel brakes, but most will not clear PCCBs.
