When contemplating whether I should go 17 or 18 here's what I've been taking into account
17" pros:
Cheaper wheels
Cheaper tires
Lighter wheels
Lighter wheel/tire combo
Less chance of rubbing(dependent on how low you are)
17" cons
Smaller tire selection

I have 18" RPF-1s (matte black, which always look smaller...) and still look better than 17" silver or SBCs. I understand the way the car looks is lower on the priority list especially in this sub-forum.

only reason I went with 18's is the rims tend to be wider, and the tires tend to be wider.
Edit.
Progression was stock tires on stock rims.
Hankook RS3s on 9.5 w RPF1s
Then Z1 Star specs on 9.5 RPF1s for regulations.
Now Hankook TD soft compound on 10.5 rpf1s

Im running 18x9.5 +15 PF01's with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 275*40*18R /245*40*18 F I can't run smaller wheels than 18's because my Akabono brakes won't clear. For that matter I had to move to the Enkei wheels because my 18" Ruff Racing wheels wouldn't quite clear. Its amazing how much 18" wheels inner wheel diameters can change.

not a Z but here's mine
225/45/15 RS3 in 15x8 +36 6UL
Now waiting for the 225/45 BFG Rivals to arrive at the post office because I trashed the RS3's at the last event
possible due to loosing the alignment

I'm currently running hankook v12:
245/35/19 19x9.5 +22 Front;
275/35/19 19x10.5 +22 Rear.
My rear are bald, front still have 50%.
Should I just replace the rear with the same tire or replace all 4 tires to something like RS3 in 265/285?
I'm still fairly new to racing in general. About half dozen autoX and one track day.

This is my current set up, RPF1 18X10.5 all around. I've been using A6's for a while and stopped AutoXing for over a year, and to remember and wake up my muscle memory i switch to Toyo R888.
RPF1 18X10.5 15+
Toyo R888 295/30/18
RPF1 18X10.5 15+
Toyo R888 295/30/18
