Default what size wheels???

I am trying to decide what size wheels to put on my 65 Malibu. I am planning disk brakes all around and lowering it quit a bit (probably 3-4 inches).

17x7 and 17x8 with M/T Drag radials

18X7 and 18x9.5 with nitto drag radials

18x7 and 20x8.5 with Firestone wide ovals all around

each has its own advantages, but can't decide and I want to get the wheels ordered so I can start preparing the frame and body to get the stance that I want.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
