Default Winter tires / wheels question

I have recently purchased an '06 Rubicon with a 2" lift and 20" wheels. I want to replace the rims and tires for winter but I'm not sure of the best type to purchase. I just need something that will look nice for a resonable price.

What information do I need before looking for a new set?

Do I want a smaller/skinnier tire for winter?

If I go with a different size tire will it require any modifications to what has already been done??

I just want to be able to put them on for winter and switch them back out in summer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First thing I'd do is go to a smaller wheel size.
It will save you a lot of money.
Tires for those 20" rims must be pretty pricey.

I want advice on different sizes of rims and types of tires! I don't intend on keeping my same rims or tires during the winter, also I would like to know what a good price would be if I was to come across a set that I like.
