Winter tires: 20" rims with P245 vs. 17" rims with P265?

Just picked up a 2014 Limited. Love it but not a huge fan of the skinny stock tires on 20" rims. Would prefer the 17" rims with P265/70/17 for summer use with a more aggressive tire for cottage country. Also Planning on winter tires next season for frequent travel in northern ontario. At the moment I'm thinking of waiting until fall, then getting some P245 winters for the stock 20" rims since the narrower tire should be better in snow (even though sidewalk is shorter). Then picking up a set of 17" rims the following spring and some new AT tires. Thoughts? Or should I save some $$ and leave the stock wheels and tires on for general use and just pickup a set of P265/70/17 winter tires on 17" steel wheels?
