I can see you are full force into doing track time. This is going to be you after a few turns

I say stick with 17s only because 17" tires a bit cheaper and wheels are lighter. If you want a good wheel to run on your car that 17 and wide enough to put say 275 tire on it get these (these wheels run up 9" wide which is really good to have on autoX.) my friend is running them with 275 nitto tires. He is constantly 2-3 sec ahead of me.
