17's. But if you like riding on rubber bands for tires, a crappy ride and the possibility bending wheels when you hit pot holes like they have here in Texas, then go w/ 18's.

so 18's will fit without rubbing, even with rubber bands for tire?

I'm pretty sure you'll rub, but I'm not positive. If your lowered and your offset isn't correct, your gonna rub.
