Well I have an rsx a spec as my daily driver and I'm bout to put some new rims on it and well I was wondering if i put smaller rims in the front would that help in my speed or should I just make both even I don't know much bout fwd and I don't want to do much to the rsx since I'm using my 350 as my track car so wat should I do I'm thinkin that smaller rims in the front would give more downward force to where the power is

It doesn't really work like that....
And i'm guessing by smaller rims you mean smaller wheel and tire height compared to stock.
Smaller rims will:
A) Throw off your odometer
B) Throw off your speedometer
C) Improve Acceleration
D) I believe it'll decrease mileage
E) Lower Top Speed
Its best to really stick to stock or similar to stock settings. And I don't really think it'll make a difference in terms of downforce.

Part of a companies r&d is to figure out optimal sizes for car rims in every condition. If smaller tires were better they would have come standard, optional, or just recomended...
