Default Looking for rims and tires questions

Another looking for rim/tire advice thread. I've read a lot here just want to get some advice for my set up. I have a Z51 no wide rear. Currently set up for the street with 245-35-19 front and 285-30-20 rears on Toyo proxies. The rims are crays. I want some track rim and tires for HPDE events. Lot of tire choices so looking more toward rims and then can discuss tires.

Seems like going with 18's all around is the preferred choice. I am swapping in Brembo GT brakes. So what rim sizes would work best with those brakes and allow me to run the most usable tire size? Any need for spacers or anything else?

Thanks

Besides LG also call John at CCW. CCWs are the most often used track wheel. John probably can tell you which rims you need to fit your car and not interfere with your choice of BBK.
