Winter Setup: MS6 Rims with Snow Tires?

I need to get some winter tires soon, and I got a pretty good deal on a set of MS6 rims off craigslist about a month ago (they have a little curbing...but they're winter rims so I don't really mind). Will I be okay buying 215/45-18 snow tires for these wheels? It looks like tire rack sells:

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60
Michelin X-Ice Xi2

From doing a lot of searching it looks like a lot of you have had good success with Blizzak's, but I didn't see anyone running them on 18" wheels. Does anyone have any advice on this?
 
If I were to run snow tires on 18x7" wheels, 215/45R18 is the size I'd go with as well...

As far as those specific tires go, I've never run any of those, so I can't be of much help there.
 
My winter setup is LM-22 Blizzaks, 215/45, on the OEM wheels.

We didn't see much substantial snow last winter, but they were great in what we did get, still felt solid for all-around driving, and I didn't have to spend the entire winter looking at steelies.
