17 inch wheel question

Hey guys im getting new tires tomorrow. Do any of you guys out there have 17 inch wheels with a 215/45R tire. I have a stock 2.4 and i don't know if i should stick with 17s or go with 18s?

Pictures please if you got them. I'm looking at the aftermarket rims sections to get an idea.

I believe those are the tires im getting, i was going to go with 215's. I was thinking about going with 17 inch aftermarkets but i don't know how it will look.

i think it depends on which wheel you go with some wheels in 17's look really good, but some look killer in the picture but when you see them in person there kinnda blah. i`ve always went up in size when i replaced my factory wheels but it really depends on what your lookin for

I just decided to stick with the stockers for now. Got a great deal on some new pole positions. $500 with all the hazards and tax and **** plus he gave me free chrome stems and valve covers.
