Winter Tires
2017 S AWD Convertible British Design Edition (with 20" summer tires)
I have been looking to get a set of winter tires and wheels to replace my "summer" tires. I am going down to 19" or perhaps 18". I will be using Sottozero 3 tires. It is not easy to find many sources of tires and wheels. Tirerack has the tires, but no wheels. Does anybody have any recommendations for sourcing staggered wheel and tire combos? Also, any experience with 18" tires on these things?
If you are sticking with OEM F-Type wheels then you can't use 18" as they do not fit over the front brake calipers, but OEM 19" will fit.
If you want after-market wheels then very few 19" will fit over and no 18" that I know of but of course you could get custom made 18" (and spend mucho $!).

Gives you an idea of what is/was available as an OE wheel including specs.
I was able to source a complete set of Gyrodynes on eBay for our summer tire setup. Took all winter to do it.
The rears are easy to find as no one bends those but the fronts are a lot harder to find. 19's may be easier. All four came from the UK so be prepared to deal with shipping.
