Default Race Wheels

The more I read the more confused I get. So hopefully someone can give me a little direction . I have a 2000 Corvette FRC converted to full race car. What is the "best" wheel size for this car with mostly stock suspension, 17" wheels or 18" wheels? I am doing NASA TTS with this car if that helps.

You first have to figure out what size front brakes your going to use. I use 17"x 11.5" front. 17'" x 12" rear. 335/35/17 all four. I use stock brakes. Autocross.
