Default Winterization

After doing my tune up, im getting ready for the winter. Im in need of some snow tires, steelies to be mounted on and then getting the car ready for winter. Im running 15w40 right now, should i bump it up to 10w30 back for winter? I know it says it has a ambient temp rating of down to 0 degrees. Thoughts? Also what are the thread patter size of a 91 944t. I dont want to put snow tires on my stock rims, id rather just have a set of steelies mounted up with snows. Also where is the best place to find these steelies. Then for lighting, im going to replace my standard headlight bulbs with some new ones for the winter, they need to be replaced anyways, a nice yellow tinge and dull light isn't cutting it. Im also debating the best spot for some aux fog lights. In the grille, under the bumper valance? Give me your thoughts. And lastly, whats the price of a good front end alignment? Im running some cupping right now, but want to wait til i get my winters on to adjust the front end. Thanks

Yeah true, but i live in denver, so it can be 5* on day and 50* the next, so 10w30 seems better, but 5w30 for the mountains i think is a must.
