Winter Tires - Spec Help

Shopping for a winter tire set of wheels and tires.

Not being as tech savvy as all of you, what are the wheel specs I need to comply to?

Size: 18x8 ?
Offset: ?
Backspacing: ?
Bolt Pattern: 5-112?
Tire Size: ?

Also, any recommended sites? TireRack's wheels for the C63 looked limited.

Thanks.

I have used 18x8x225 Bridgestones with most success here, on Enkei GTC 01, 8J 18 50mm offset. The Michelin Alpines I now have are worthless in snow over 2-3", IMO.

Recently another member said the GTC 01 is not available in 18 and I did not see any to fit C 63 online recently. Although I got mine from T-Rack I do not recommed them anymore due to arrogant dealings.
