If i assume you own a 68.. 18's look better in the well.

18 is more common these days so their are alot of tire options.

17 can give you more sidewall which can be a better ride..

I would go with 18 beacuase i am willing to sacrifice some ride quality for the tucked tire look... i have a real big problem with the look of a tire that doesn't fill the wheel well.

these tires will be going on my 67. the outside dia will be the same 335-30-18 vs 335-35-17. only difference will be height of sidewall

Brake caliper clearance can be an issue on 17's depending on your plans.
