18's on a 370z

I really don't see why anyone would go 18 when the factory provides different 19 inch options. The body itself has big enough arches that it takes an 19 or 20 to fill them up properly visually

there are reasons to use 18 on the track, obviously, but most folks aren't tracking

so it comes down to folks cheaping out

Absolutely correct. 18" snow tires are cheaper than getting 20". Why would I get a nice set of 20" wheels and rubber to beat up in the winter?

But also I take into account that the ride quality is better on 18" snow tires than 20"s. Especially in these pothole infested winter cities.

Everyone has reasons for different applications.
