Tires and rims

My kid wants bigger rims on his 95 Integra GSR. Currently running p205/40/16 tires. Wants to go to 17 or 18 inch rims. Will this ruin handling or speed? Suggestions?

17+ wheels will DEFINITELY hurt speed. these cars don't have enough tq to twist those big rims up to speed and you'll lose performance
