Any way to shut off ATTESA awd?

Before people start bashing...I live in the North East so dealers mostly carry X's and have limited color combs for Rwd. I ended up with G37X sedan, and UNDERSTAND/LIKE the benefits of the ATTESA(awd).

...BUT my curiousity is since weather is only really bad for like 6mos out of the year. Is there a way to run Summer wheel/tire set up with AWD OFF so that staggered (coupe G37S19's) could be installed (or whatever staggered 10in+ rears deep-dish, poked out, anything) without messing up the awd system that would need to be working once weather turns to crap for the winter and the gorgeous 17in stockers are put back on. It would be nice to have a switch or something like the VDC.

*and yeah I know I could just get 4 fronts or 4 rears G37Sc19's but staggered just looks sooo much better AND nothing like a 4dr sedan sliding sideways.

unlike the 1st gen sedans where you can pull a fuse

there is absolutely NO WAY to disable the AWD system on the 2nd gen models.

Sorry

you can still run a staggered setup no problem...

as long as the diameter stays the same the staggered setup wont cause any problems
