Default 18x5.5 vs 17x6.25

Hey guys, i got a 07 standard softail with a 200 heatland kit. Im getting new wheels and wanna lower the bike so fender sits low to rim, but i also wanna get as wide as i can.
17x6.25 with 210 tyre or 18x5.5 with 200 tyre?? Will the 210 setup look much wider then the 200 setup??
With the 17" setup can i get the bike low enough for fender to sit at rim??

any pictures would be apreciated.

thanks

First off, welcome and nice bike!

Very clean and understated, I like it.

I dont have heartland, but I have an 18x5.5 on order now with the 200/50-18. I thought the slightly taller wheel with slightly shorter sidewall would fill the fender better. Dont have it yet, so no pics.

just my 2 cents.
