Front 18 inches
Rear 19 inches

Now you have the best of both worlds.

i'm not sure how you figure the 18" wheels will not fit a set of big brakes?

lgear has a set of GTR brakes under some 18" wheels iirc. it's pretty common place to fit 14" kits under 18's. a rotor any bigger than that is just adding unneeded weight imo--i do just fine with 13" rotors.

My BBK fits under most 17s, and stops me repeatedly on race tracks without issue, so I am missing the issue?!?

Get the 19's, I'll bet the weight difference of a tire/wheel combo isn't much.

And then let me know when you get tired of them.

Agreed, but there are still good street tire choices in 19.
