Wheel question... deciding and fitment

Aight I have looked at the "show me your wheels" thread, i swear like all 200 pages and there are some crazy awesome looking wheels.

I pretty much decided on wheel...

my question is:

im deciding between 18 x 7.5 and 17 x 7.5's

but of course i will go with the H&R sport springs, that are 1.0" front and .75" rear

will the 18's scrubb by doing this? or should I go with the 17's for this?? I don't want it to rub, but I would prefer the 18's

I have 18's x 7.5 wheels, with 215-35-18 tires with no rubbing issues. I have the H-sport springs which claim to drop 1-1/4'' front and rear.. Alot will depend on your tire size choice. Mine is the same diameter as my stock 15'' wheels and tires..
