so 265/35-18 RE71Rs are 27 lbs each. 255/40-17 RE71Rs are 24 lbs each.
I go from a 16.4lb wheels to likely 20lb wheels. Let's say 4 lbs per corner.
7lbs per corner, total 28lbs of increased rotational unsprung mass. same width wheel, shorter sidewall and 10mm more of tire. someone hush me and tell me it's still worth it.

Going with a larger/heavier wheel/tire to run a larger caliper... I just don't know. I have a feeling ducting, pistons, and maybe shims will work for me until I go bigger.

I don't plan to go to 18s unless I'm going with a 275 or larger tire. In that case, I'd swap out brake calipers. My end game is to, eventually, have 275s+ and X calipers.

on my "street" evo i ran 17x10 rpf1 with a 275 hoosier tire. it was stupid light and i swore i would never go away from that setup.
now we run 18x10.5 and wouldn't go back.
if you are just racing autox then stick with 17's .... anything else the braking (IMO) is worth the weight penalty.
