Question Fastest Wheels?

Hey guys, I'm looking to turn my ecoboost into a 1/4 truck, and I was wondering what's the fastest stock wheels to go with? 18's or 20's? or does it really matter?

I'm running the 17" raptor wheels and 35" tires right now, so it's slowing me down a lot.

Thanks!

bigger wheels = more spinning mass/weight.

Therefore the smaller the rim, and less tire you have the faster it will be and faster it will stop.
.....and uhhh yeah 35" tires are not going to be fast.

I run these 17" chrome clad wheels (now plastidipped). They came off a 2004 F150. I paid $50 for just the rims on craigslist.
They ain't pretty but they are light, this is them on my old truck.

For those 15 seconds or less, I'm free.
