    Rim diameter does not make a difference as long as you reduce the height of the tire's sidewall to compensate. For example, common plus-sizing for Fbody (compared to stock size)

    245/50R16
    245/45R17
    245/40R18

    These would all be with a 7.5" to 8.5" rim width.

    275/40R17
    275/35R18

    These would be used on a 9.0" to 9.5" rim width.

    When going larger on wheels and lowered you need only be concerned with offset and width. Up to 9.5" you will be fine as long as offset is 50mm. It's when trying to use an 11" wide rear wheel that problems can occur after lowering.
