As for the stock wheel size, if it will be 16", the poshers could easily swap them for 18's. The other way around...???
It's not nuclear physics to see what is the optimal way, not for us in here, not for Toyota also.
Now, what will actually happen, only Toyota knows...
We only speculate.

Only the corolla and yaris come wheels smaller than 17" today, and any smaller, you aren't getting the decent rotors and 4 piston calipers to fit under those.
Furthermore, 85% of the general car buying public will LFAO at a sports coupe with anything less than 17" wheels, 14.9999% will not care and only .0001% will cry "why didn't the put smaller wheels on it". You can argue all you want about why it "should" be smaller, but I guess most on here can counter and better as to why it shouldn't.
