Default Winter Tire Size

What size of tire can I use on my '09 Accord Coupe EXL ? Factories are 17" but I know 16's would be cheaper.

Do I really need the sensors ? My dealer quoted me $1400 on steel rims ! Not going to happen . I was thinking 15" rims but I don't think they will clear the brakes.

tirerack.com seems to have a good database of what fits. Look for what they call "minus 1" sizing, which would be 16". If the base model (Accord DX?) has 15" rims, that might be possible, but I don't know whether the EXL has bigger brakes.
