Is that the oem e46 non-m size?

This is my current, and seems to have no change in speedometer variance, but only about 1.5 fingers for wheel gap.

F: 235/30/19x9
R: 275/35/19x10

So ideally, I would need something smaller than 17s for winters? But if I go down in rim size, that would mean my car becomes even more lowered (I want to go higher)?

For the purposes of winter safety, I'd then have to get new suspension and smaller wheels? Or do are the differences in having 19s and 16s for winters negligible? I'm asking because the car came with a set of WRG2s in 235/30/19 square, so if I don't have to switch I won't. But if it's strongly advised, I will.

TIA
