20's don't fill the wheel well any different than 19's unless your running a larger diameter tire.

The diameter doesn't fill the wheel well any more but the face of the wheel does because of the larger diameter. And since 20" tires are cheaper it would both aesthetic and economical. 19" in front will put less stress on the steering system because of the lighter unsprung weight.

They are lighter and you have a LOT more options when it comes to track tires. (Race cars don't ride on dubs) Plus, even the biggest big brake kits will fit behind a properly made 18" wheel.

Plus it's easier and cheaper to find good tires in 18". The only downsides I can think of are the brakes might get a little less air flow (not sure if significant) and the sidewall flex is a bit more due to having a taller sidewall. Although I'm willing to bet that the slight decrease in air flow is more than offset by the lowered inertia of the wheel putting less strain on the brakes.
