i wanted 18's, but ended up with 17's and i love them. do they look a little small, yes, but the ride is quite comfortable, and if you are plannin on tucking the tire then you have a little more room to work with the stretch and profile of the tire.

Why is your girlfriend buying you rims? Anyway, I'd go with the 18's, but what slowrider said above should be considered if that's your thing.

I had somewhat of the same situation, but I already have brand new tires lol.
Yeah what the others are saying, depends on what look you're going for.

If you want flush go with 17's . If you want it to look a lil bigger then do 18's.
It's all a matter of what you want and your opinion. :thumbsup:
