Downgrade from 19" to 18" rims

Hello Community,

I have a G37S with 19" wheels (OEM). For track days I wanna use some semi slicks and it is alsomost impossible to finf 19" tyres. Therefore I want to go for 18". I am not sure if the calibers in the sport model are bigger than in the other G37 models. I live in Middle East and the only available model here ist the fully loaded G37S. So, my dealer cannot help me because they do not need anything about the other models - Journey, etc.

Can I use 18" rims on my S modell? Which rim size 18x8, 18x8,5, etc do you recommend? Also any idea about semi slicks??

Thanks

Kimchim

I heard nothing but good reviews on the Nitto R888s.. Many wheel shops in Dubai can test fit wheels for you. Check out Performance Group in Al Quoz, they're Rota dealers (just for reference)
