Wheel conundrum

[chompsticks]

So, I have found a set of wheels I have been looking for. CCW classics in 8.5 +26f 9.5+26r, but they are 17s instead of 18s. I am a fan of the hellaflush/VIP style and got a question.

Here is my current set up. 18x8 +31F +27R 205/40 tires including spacers


There is a lot of junk in the trunk in this one


Here is a guy on 17x8 +25 and 17x9 +27 but he is 1 inch lower than me.



My problem is that I am full low on my coilovers.
What size tire would I go with to keep my wheel gap to a minimum, or should I just wait and find a set of 18s because of the current stance? Oh, I am also blessed with the beauty of 4x114.3 so the odds of finding another set are slim to none.

wait for the 18's. Id go 17 myself but you'll never be happy if you want the VIP look. with wheels that expensive, you better get what you want, exactly how you want it, the first time.

Def.. wait for the 18's...

CCW's for a VIP look? Not hardly.

Stick with 18's.

Yea I know the VIP look is something that a generally flat/full faced wheels. But Eurolines are everywhere and finding anything in a 4x114 pattern is near impossible. I just love the looks of ccw's though. I will probably wait, but finding a perfect set again may be impossible. Those 17s are still brand new in box too.
