Default Wheel question, still a n00b with the TSX...

a friend of mine is selling two sets of rims

18×8 5×114.3 +35

and

17×8 5×114.3 + 48

TSX is currently lowered with h-tech springs, and it has a pretty nice drop on it right now. I was pretty much trying to keep the same kind of drop (conservative) and not have it look funny. From these two sets, could anyone provide any feedback or pictures?

Thanks for any info you guys can provide!

I went ahead and got the 18's. Anyone have any suggestions for tire sizes?

or
225/40
