Which size wheels are best on a Saloon thats gonna be substantially lowered?

I've seen some 17's I like but will they rub or just look ghey?
They also come in 15's but is that a bit small,shall I look for some 16's instead?

pics of Saloons with different size wheels and drops may help :thumb:

Buy some Cavalier Expressions - Stick some 195/50/15 tyres on them and wind your suspension right down :)

The 13"s on Baxters look ace.

Who'd have thought anything from a Renault 5 would actually be of any use?
