A plethora of opins and winter experience here on the Board...

I ran those 17s with dedicated snow tires for 5 winters in the
5-6,000 ft mtns of western NC: they made my lower tech,
non-X Drive run like a Mtn Goat, up and down our very steep
snowy, icy inclines. Nothing will beat the 17s, imo.

Otoh, since you have the 18s, quality snows will perform well in
that size too; the only benefit to getting the set of 17s is it
precludes the wheel geniuses swapping out tires on your 18"
rims, twice a season, and less detrimental winter effect on your
stock wheels.
