Default 17'2 or 18's on a classic wagon

i have a silver wagon but it has the gold rims on it, i'm looking to get silver 17's or 18's with an 1.5inch lip, also lower it a bit which is best to go for, don't really want to lose to much accelaration........

17x7 with Goodyear F1 215/40, off-set 52mm

While you're at it, if you're on 2-pot front calipers, upgrade them to 4-pots. Try Godspeed or AS Performance. Make sure the stuts are up to it and get a Scooby specialist to set the geometry, eg Power Station (though there are plenty of other good places). Ask for recommendations.
