why 18'' wheels more popular on track?

Damn never thought of that. I would think that the ducts would clear since they move with the hub.

The part that attaches to the hub moves with the hub, but generally the routing of it from there to the front of the bumper involves at least some travel along the engine-bay side of the wheel well. Mine ended up pressed against there and slightly flatted and zip-tied down, but I still hit them a little at full steering lock. Not enough to rub holes in them yet over several months, but it's a consideration.
