Default Smaller wheels on an IS-F

Hey guys,

I intend to change out the 19 inch wheels on my IS-F to a set of smaller 18 inch wheels in view of the poor quality of the roads where the car will be driven. I understand that it is possible and that some people have managed to fit smaller wheels on the car. I have 2 questions:

1. What fitment of wheels will be required?
2. Would Michelin Super Sports be available in that size?

Thanks in advance.

To be completely honest with you, an extra half inch of sidewall is probably not going to make much of a difference... If you were to go two sizes down, perhaps, but just one, probably not even noticeable and plenty of people have taco'd 18" wheels same as 19" wheels...
