17X10.5 or 18X10

I have a silver 01 GT Vert 5-spd. I'm looking to get new tires, and I figured I might as well upgrade my wheels as well....I can't decide between 17X10.5 or 18X10.....Would the 10.5's be too wide?

+1 on expensive tires... the 18's look good if you can afford them.

RE: 17X10.5 or 18X10

Uh, I'll put it this way. If I were to buy another set of tires for my 18x9 (265/35-18) up front, and 18x10 (295/35-18) in the rear, it would cost me less to buy new 17x9 and 17x10 wheels and the same tires (appropriately sized of course), instead of JUST tires for the 18's.
