It depends, the choice of wheels and tires can get complicated because of the issues related to the car and also due to issues related to availability. Not all tires or wheels are available in all sizes, not all suspensions can deal w/ ultra wide/low tires

Have you decided on a tire manufacturer yet? wheel supplier?

in general the lower profiles used on 18s will be better for track use but it does depend on availability and the effect on gearing

it would help if you could provide some more info as to use, 100% track? 50%? how compromised will you go wrt street use?

and yes, the brake package also influences the decision
