Smaller rims???

HI
I have a (for most of you it will sound stupid ) question but...
can i put any smaller rims/tires on my 05 G35X ??? 16" or maybe even 15"???
purpose is for winter it will have snow tires and for summer track tires, cause 17" tires for winter and specially track tires are way to pricey
thanks for any replays

Cool 16 inch

I have a 2003 G35 coupe with 18 inch in the summer and I have 16 inch rims for the winter with tire size 215/55R16. Car handels well on snow and ice. Also, more choices in tire brands with this size.

Won't go smaller than 16" due to the calipers.

Cool Rim size

Sorry, I bought the 16 inch rims off a friend that had them on a 2001 Infiniti
I30. I'm sure you can get a set at NAPA. They are regular black rims. The bolt pattern is perfect.
