Wider wheels probably aren't going to make much of a difference either way. Lowering would make it more fun to drive and look at, as well as counteracting the (nominal) extra frontal area of the wider tires.

What style are you going for? If you wanted to do slot mags, the skirts would look terrible. If you're doing a grandpa car sleeper thing though, by all means skirt it. Also think about a trunk spoiler to push the airflow back up where it should be. Tuft test the car and see where the problems appear to be.

No matter what it would probably help to do a full belly pan.
