IMO you should start from the premise that you need winter wheels, whether your summer wheels are 19" or 20". Buying an expensive fully optioned awd vehicle in a place that gets real winters, and running it on summer performance tires, just doesn't make sense.
If you don't like the look of fender flares with winter wheels, then perhaps that influences your decision whether or not to get the package that has fender flares.
Once you have the right size wheels on there for all 12 months of the year, the rest will fall in to place.

Well the stock 19" rims have all season tires as I'm sure you know. Granted that isn't as good as a dedicated snow tire, but MN is really good about plowing and I'm seldomly driving through deep snow. I've always had all season tires and been just fine.
The aftermarket rim look could work with a narrower tire/rim combo, but it's really tough to tell by those 20x9 fill out the wheel well. The real allure to this is getting to have the nice and wide summer tires during the 6-7 months out of the year where they could be used in MN.
