Running 18's doesn't necessarily mean a smaller diameter tire. Mine are the same. It depends on what sidewall dimension you have.

My switch: The decrease in launch times comes from the increase in sidewall, which allows the tire to squat and increase surface area onto the pavement. If I could fit a tall 16" tire, so much better.
