Hi Simon

 

I think its down to personal choice and design style really

But if it was me I would go for the 17" as cheaper on tyres and better on looks (filling the arches a little more!)

Trevor has avery good point concerning the price of tyres. I had 17" Pirellis on my  X Type and the price of new ones was around £105 each as against the price of 18" ones of around £150 each.
