GRM just did a text on with the same tires but in 16", 17" and 18" form. Same width too.
The tire that handled the best was the 17". Even though the 18's still had the same diameter with the tire mounted (shorter side wall), the rotational weight of the wheel actually slowed the car down.
17's are your best bet, plus 17's are usually a lot less expensive
