18-inch wheels on a 550i GT with sport package?

Any help would be appreciated. My friend has a rear-wheel-drive 550i GT with sport package on the factory 20s, and he needs to buy winter tires. He mostly uses the car around town and our roads don't get plowed like they should, so he'd be a lot better off with studless ice and snow tires like the Blizzak WS-60. Unfortunately, such tires only come in 18-inch and smaller sizes. I've seen posts on here alluding to being able to use 18s on the 550i GT, but Tire Rack just told me 18s won't clear the calipers. Has anyone actually put 18s on a 550i GT with sport package?
