Best Sized Rims/Wheels- 16s 17s or 18s?

Hey Guys I need your input. I want to put some chrome iroc replicas on my 91 rs but I'm not sure which size to pick. What are the pros and cons of each between the 16s, 17s and 18s? Is one size more optimal than the others in terms of performance? Is it easier to clear parking blocks and speed bumps with a larger wheel? or do you just end up with skinnier tires anyways to compensate? Are tires cheaper to replace for one size than the others? Btw I'm keeping my car stock height. Any advice you can give helps. Thanks!
