Trust me they did 20 inches are purely for the look.You'd have to be a fly that understood japanese.
a smaller sidewall can also affect turn-in and some of that stuff. I assume if they did the ring run on the 20s there had to have been some benefit. unless that benefit is that they can run lightweight 18s for the next model and get a better time and brag about that.
Thicker Tire wall is more endurable during Track Attack, especially corner thru the curbing.
Plus 18 inches have more Tire Choices and less weight. Check out BTCC and WTCR Race Cars and see what size they normally use.
And indeed 18inch and slightly wider tires alone could let Type-R get a better time.
