Default Need new wheels, BBS RK 17s or 18s?

So I apparently have 3 bent rims on my 2001 A4 1.8tqms. They currently have the 17" RS4 replicas. Thinking of getting a pair of BBS RK rims, the one piece. They are fairly light and I like how they look. Wondering if I should get the 17s or 18s. Also, thinking of going to 245s, but don't know if they will fit. Any benefit of going wider or should I just stick to the 225s. TIA! I'm thinking of sticking to 225/45R17s and use the saved money and upgrade the suspension.

Default 17s with 235/40 look best. I have the RK and they have been great

Do they rub? I wasn't sure whether to get the 225/45 or 235/40s.
