Default 18" on the V8 or P400e PHEV?

I know there are conversion kits for the P400 and other vars delivered with 20-22" wheels.
But for the V8 and the P400e with larger front disks, has anyone seen any conversion kits for these cars?
I would like to put on 18" on my P400e

Man I doubt that’s going to take an 18. My GT4 has 15” (380mm) discs front and rear. Comes with 20” wheels; there’s a tiny handful of 19s that will fit, but it’s very close and people often catch a pebble between the caliper and the inside of the barrel and it cuts a nice groove in the wheel, sometimes so deep the wheel is compromised.

Idk Seems like you'd really have to want it pretty bad. I can't really dig up the video atm but there's a great 10 or 15 minute discussion with visuals that LR did regarding all of the handling enhancements, torque vectoring, enabling drifting, etc that they put into the V8 which would really seem to require those big rotors.
