High performance wheel/tire combo

Hi,

what is a high performance wheel tire combo that can be safely run on the streets, but will do OK when it rains? I've heard you can fit 255/40s on the front 17" rims... is this true? Does this provide better performance than running say 235/265 on 18 rims?

Thanks.

Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics seem to do well in both the wet and dry.

It really depends on what width the wheel is. Did you happen to know?
