BBK upgrade for base 370Z with 18" rims

Planning on upgrading with BBK. I have 19" stock wheels I've purchased, but I use 18" wheels for winter. What size rotors/calipers can I use that would accomodate both wheels?

I don't know what BBK brakes will fit but if it helps the sport brakes fit with 18in. base wheels.

AP or Stoptech with 14" rotors should be fine. I have heard that the brembo front caliper upgrade that I am selling will fit stock 18s, but I really don't think its a good idea. I have a couple mm clearance between the caliper and 350z 18s I run and rocks get stuck in between and scrape the rim and make awful noise.
