I have 18" Lorinser D93s on mine.  Look and ride are great, but 17s 
would look just as good and give a little more cushion w/o sacrificing 
(I think) too much handling.  I have 8X18 in front with 235 x 40; and 
9X18 in rear with 275X35.  I really wish I had 10" wide wheels in the 
back with 285 x 40s on them.  IMO, perfect set-up would be 8 x 17, 
maybe with 225s instead of 235s, in front and 10 x 17 in rear.  My car 
is lowered, but I have zero info on that...it was done before me.
