Get 18's if you can afford the tires. They look best on our cars no matter what your drop is. There is no difference in tire diameter so there should not be any issues unless you run something very wide, like 315 or above.
As for your second question, I'm not really sure what your asking.
 
Dropped your car will look far better with wider wheels.. 17x9's at a minimum. The rear doesn't look very good with 17x8's with all that wheel gap. Just be careful with the tire size. If you go to a 10.5 inch wheel and a 315 tire you may get some rub issues. For my car, Nittos and Sumitomos worked will, BFG DR's rubbed like mofo's.

Did this BFG rubbing issue happen with the same rims and same size tires? Same suspension? Where did the rubbing occur? I've got 11" rims in the rear with Sumi 315/35 and have no issues near the exhaust or fenders. But I have Eibach Pro kit, not Sportlines.
