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.

Go with 18's or with 17's with a low pro series. 35 or 40. Th smaller your sidewall the less lateral movent the tires make, thus making turning tighter.
How often do you plan to track? If you are going to track regularly (once every 2 months) but some nice lightweight rims for the track and keep oem's for DD. If you are going to track like twice a year, put some good rubbers on the oem's and keep your nice shoes for DD. That way you look good driving around town. LOL
