It prolly wont make any difference what size you go with if you're getting performance tires because they all pretty much have treadwear ratings in the same ballpark.

You can cruz 18's but you just have to be cautious around speed bumps and curbs. It shouldn't hurt performance unless your ride sits on the ground.
