RE: 17s or 18s???
If you maintain the same (or very close to the same) tyre circumfererence (and you should because it will mess with your speedo reading if you don't, and might well be illegal) then the diameter of the rim will make no difference to the 'gaps' to the wheel arches (but you will need lower profile tyres to maintain the tyre circumference with larger rims). If you want less of a gap from the top of the tyre to the bottom of the arch you need to lower the chassis.
