IT is not all in the rim diameter that you need to look at. You must also get them with the correct Offset. Stock rims are at +55 and many aftermarket ones will be between +40 at +48. If you go with a 17" x7" +45 that is a good choice and the same width will also be fine at that offset in an 18".
Next is tire size. When you go larger in diameter-there is the PLUS sizing chart that will tell you the correct tire versus the stock size. As to lowering-the safe amount for most daily driving is with Neuspeed Sport springs which will drop you 1.7" in front and 1.5" in the rear. There will be a slight and easily fixed rub due to a nub you cut off the inner edge of the rear bumper cover near the bolt that holds it on the body. Some people may disagree with me on this one-but I have a full setup for street and road race and no issues now-even with Camber kits on all 4 corners. Happy Luding
