Default 17s or 18s?

I have a 99 black mustang gt and i want to get the black bullet rims but i can't decide wether to keep the same size so i can hang on to my awesome tires or go with a bigger size. It is all about the looks with me. What do you guys think?

what tires do you have and what size are they? For a 17x9 rim, the optimal tire size to run is 275/xx/17.

18 would've been the way to go. 18x9 in the front and 18x10 deep dish in the back.
