Default Winter rims & tires

Newbie here but I got a 2021 IS350 AWD back in spring and just love it.

I am looking to see what everyone’s winter rims/tire set up is. Is it possible to go down to a 18” rim so I can get a taller sidewall tire? I have no idea what I can do and Tirerack is no help.

If the rotor/caliper clearances are the same as previous years, you can go down to a 17” rim. That’s what I use for winter on my 2014 IS350 AWD, and I went square instead of staggered.
