i think the offset of the wheels will be the biggest factor in rubbing. probably shouldn't go wider than 215 for the tires either. whats the offset of the wheels? do u have some in mind?


...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

Go with the 17's. You obviously have performance in mind, seeing that you are going with a better handling kit. 18's will slow you down tremendously. 17's will weigh less, and will be cheaper for the wheels and tires. Not to mention a softer ride.
