Default Opinions on wheel width please

I'm going to buy a set of chrome ZR-1's soon, and I'm not sure if I should get 17x9.5 all around or 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the back. I'm planning on running Nitto555R's on them, and I know those tires run a bit thin. What size drag radial could I run on the 9.5's? If I went with the 17x11, I'd put a 315 wide tire on it.

Also...will that extra width help at all? The wider wheels mean more rolling resistance and more unsprung weight. Will they help with traction? I'm looking for good times at the track.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I plan on spraying in the future, too. So I would need to get traction with N20 too.
