Looking to downsize my wheels

[Jkimyh]

Hi everyone
I just purchased 2011 g37 s coupe and the car really rocks!
As winter is coming, i am looking for winter tires or tire wheel sets but as you know g37 s coupe has 19 inch wheel. Is it okay for me to buy 17 or 18 inch wheel and tires and put it on the car?

Thank you for all your help!

You maybe able to run 18's, the only issue is the sport brakes may not clear all 18" wheels. 17's are out of the question.

^^^ Correct, 17's won't clear the Akebono calipers. 18" aftermarket wheels may not fit them either....near the top of the following link there is a template available which can be used to make sure wheels will clear the caliper:
