Are 18's too big? will they rub with 225s?

or 17"s with a drop... what do you guys think looks better? i looked at the picture of the black 'tour with 18's who went through the carwash, and it looks allright, but i think 17"s with a drop maay look a tad better. what do you guys think?

i ran 18's with 225/40's and i just had to roll the fender's like explained in the how-to in the top of this branch.

Here are the pics of my car on 18's, first pic is 225/40 and the second is 215/35

18's KMC Units 225/40/18 - no fender rolling - I just had to bend the bumper support tab towards the bumper kuz it will be like a razor blade in your tire if you don't....

What he said. If you're gonna put 18's, you should drop the car anyways. As far as rubbing goes, it's all in the ofset you get. My 18's don't rub at all...well, apparently they did rub on the plastic shield on the inside of the tire, but it rubbed a nice hold in it and there's no more contact.
