Default wheels question again

well, some guys have challenged me to a race, it will take place on a track so no worrys
anyway.. my question is what wheelsetup should I use? I got stock 15" Enkeiīs on 205/45ZR15 Goodyear F1 tires, brand new. I also have the 17" ATRīs on 215/45ZR17 Micheilin Pilot Sports. A mechanic told me today that itīs better to run on a big and wide wheel instead of stockīs? any truth in that?

drag racin'?

smaller diameter equates for quicker acceleration.

but yeah, it also depends on weight too (15"'s are usually lighter right....)

uhm, lower ur tire pressure
