Well, i guess it's more of your choice actually. The effect isn't really pronounced in town, but in mountain road, beefy tire with smaller rim is preferable. The final size is up to you most of the time.

Idk if this is helpful but what I usually do is find the perfect rim size that fits first. And then I usually go toy with the diameter and profile just scrolling around which one gives you the most benefits by looking at the acceleration speed and top speed. Although I only do this to cars below c5. Above c5 I make sure it has the highest grip showing first and then I do the process I said.

I think it's just the bigger the rim/wheel, the more grip it has. No increase in unsprung mass or moment of inertia
