I think you should go with 17's but it all depends on what your looking for. If you want performance go with 17's but if u want it for show then go with 18's. Believe it or not but that 1 inch actually does alot. Also remember that with 18's you have to be more careful because they bend alot easier. I think 17 are the best way to go because they look good and perform well. I have 17's on my car and im lowering it 2 inches to fill in the wheel well. But it's up to you im just trying to help you out.

18" RSLimiteds, dropped, rides great and looks good to boot! Getting replaced or re-painted though in the spring.

black rims go well with the silver paint. How much of a drop did you do cause it looks good..

I don't know what the official drop was, It is now on Tokico HP struts and springs, rides great! Before it was on what I believe to be stock Neon susp., not the R/T, it seemed to sit even higher than other Neons I saw. The dealer I got it from took a coil-over system off and put supposedly the stock R/T on, but I don't buy it. The drop should have been 1.4-1.6", but it closed up almost 2.5" of wheel gap in the rear. I am very happy with the results!

Without modding, in inch terms, the biggest would be 18x7... 18x7.5 inches might rub... It did when I had mine, had 215/35 tires on them... I recommend 17x7 though...
