Hi, I am thinking of going to track during this summer. With less than 10k miles on my 06', the rear tires life is about 50% and the front's life is about 70%. So, I am planning to get a new set of wheels and tires. And I am struggling in some questions. Hope you guys can give me some tips.

1)Should I use my factory tires for track days and buy a new set of wheels and tires for normal street driving or should I buy a new set of wheels and tires for track day and keep using the factory wheels and tires for normal street driving?

2)If I bought 18" for the new set of wheels without any modification on the suspension system, am I good to go on track day or normal street driving? Or should I stay with 17" for the new wheels?

*for the new wheels, I will buy high performance tires with it.
Thankyou guys.
