'17 Wheels with a drop vs 18

https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/wto/5848292220.html looking at these wheels and they're the right bolt pattern but I don't know the specs.

I guess my question really is would '17s look good with a drop? Or would it be worth it to go for some '18s and a drop. I'm looking at some av20s for a steal but they may be sold by time I'm ready.

For 175 I don't think they could be all that bad.

^brotherman, it takes a long time to learn about wheels.
it took me 5 years to finally pull the trigger on a set which I THINK has the perfect specs.

funny enough, a buddy came through yesterday and we rolled his fenders, or attempted too.
He wants wheels by christmas and we were going over wheel specs and such

it gets pretty confusing with offsets and widths.

I advise you to visit
Wheel Offset Calculator | 1010Tires.com Discount Online Tire and Wheel Store for offset calculations
and
Tire Size Calculator - Tire & Wheel Plus Sizing for tire sizes

Those look like garbage.

And there's a big giant thread with pics of every conceivable wheel combo.
and 17x8 is stock size.

Yeah I'm still a noob when it comes to tire specs. I'll keep looking around.

I beg to differ. I also messed up on the title a bit.
