18's will clear but a stagger is advised on these cars. We are a distributor for APEX, Advan and Volk depending on what your preference is.
I know this thread is primarily about the wheels but the brake setup is very important if you're planning on doing more than a couple events. Though Hawk makes some decent products (mainly DTC-60) I agree that their dust is corrosive long term and I would advise using something else. If you're swapping pads in and out for track events it's more of a moot point but most newer compounds from PFC, Endless, Pagid and Ferodo are not only less corrosive and easier to modulate but have a bit more breadth with the friction levels through their temp range (cold bite on the street is never an issue). Stock rotors will work great but once they are gone it's worth looking into a high end 2-piece rotor from PFC, GiroDisc or AP Racing that you can simply replace the rings on and re-use the hats going forward.
