Default Of course there is...

Just buy 17 inch snows. I have 235/45/17 Blizzak LM-22s on my stock sport rims. Keep in mind though that, as many have pointed out, a narrower tire will "bite" better in deep snow. I seem to deal more with icy roads than deep snow, so the 235's seem to do just fine.

Default I've got Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 on my 17" sport rims....

and they're great in the snow. Sold my Pirelli 16" Winter 210 Snowsport tires cause I hated the look for 5 long months.

Default I've got 235/45-17 Dunlop M2s on my 17" sport rims -- they're great.

They plow the roads and highways around here very well, so in a day or two the roads are completely dry ... that's why I stayed with the sport tire size. But even in snow and ice the wide M2s have plenty of traction.
