Smaller wheel diameter is generally going to be better for a number of reasons we've already beat to death, but at the end of the day you have to fit brakes. You need brakes big enough to do the job, and then the smallest wheels you can fit over those brakes. If there's a big gap between your front rotors and the inside of the front wheels, you're not being optimal
