I think that the trend for larger diameter fat tyres is actually detrimental to handling. Race cars don't have 18 inch 255 tyres. They have smaller rims to reduce unsprung mass and wider sidewalls.
Arguably 17 inch rims should handle slightly better than 18's and the car should be fractionally faster. It's all vanity really when it comes to wheels.
