What wheels should i get? 18" or 17"

Hey, i'm deciding on whether to get 18" wheels or 17" wheels. I have a sedan and i plan to slam it on ground controls. I want the wheel to tuck but i'm not sure if it will on 17's. If you have pics that would help. Help me decide! Oh, also, where can i get a lip kit for cheap?

i dont think u want them to tuck, that might cause camber issues. just drop it to kill the wheel gap.

Just get some 24s and forget the tires all together.
