Brakes would be the next argument but if I go 17 I can always find a set of 6 piston brakes to fit. Aren't the NASCAR guys running 15 and 16" wheels?

Weight is another consideration. I thought I read somewhere that every pound of rotational weight is worth 20 lbs. 17" wheels and tires will most likely be lighter than 18.

Right now I'm thinking GA3R's in 17". They looked pretty good on that '68 that Dave G posted.

Either way, I'll pay a visit to Guy on Sunday and see how the cards fall after seeing how the WC3's look.
Yep, I like Nitto line a lot. Very good value and good selection in 17's.

Those GA3R's I posted were 18's tho... 265 tire front and 315 rear. Falken 615.
