There's been a few people who promoted the idea of 18's.  Any reason that you're stopping at 17?  Mine were basically the same price in either size.

I got a sweet deal on these 17's from another member here a while back.  I may have gone 18'sR 17'sF if starting new.

Cuz, 17" is about the max you can go before increasing wheel weights begin to become a detriment to performance and the benefit of better rubber is lost to the increase in unsprung weight.

also due to less side wall there is a trade off with the ride quality
