Depending on how much you lower it determine if 17's will catch, they catch if you put it on coils, dont know about anything else

if you have a 1L and fit 17's it's gonna slow it down, 18's and the granny chariots will be overtaking you.
i went for 16's which are a happy medium.

15's for accelleration, 17's for looks. but the bigger the wheel the heavier it is and the rolling radius increases reducing accelleration.

depends on wot u want the car for? looks or handling/performance?

with 18s u will need to modify your arches, and the ride will be a bit harsh on just standard suspension, its gunna need lowering loads to look like a decent height

17s for handling, but tbh mate, i personally wouldnt go over 16"s but they dont look huuuuuuge

and the main diff between 17" and 18" is the tyres, can u afford to replace em and so forth
