You may need 3 sets of tires

There's the winter and summer set for daily use.
Then there's track tires.
If you are going to autocross and track the car frequently, you should consider some sticky tires specifically for those uses. They will wear fast but will make a huge difference in handling. A lot of people drive to the track/autocross on regular tires and swap on the sticky tires at the event. Figure on $600 to $800 for four.
As to wheel size, I'd go with 16" for daily summer tires and the "race" ones, although the change in your gear ratios from the right-sized 15" rims/tires can be important for autcrosses. It won't matter as much on a track.
In winter, 15" rims are good. You run a bigger sidewall which gives you some pothole protection for the rims. And 15" rims can be had pretty cheaply.
