what's a good combo for wheel?

what's a good size for wheel
stock = 16X6.5 offset 55

i'm thinking of going 17X7.5 or 17X8
or should i go 18X8
what size and width is a good combo..

right now i'm thinking gram lights 57 pro (gold + polish lip)

G-game 77W / VAIO

if i get G-game i have to go 18 cuz only 18 is 2 piece. ><
Volk CE28


or gram lights' new wheel
T57-RC

i would say 17" and the wider the better.... if you just want to run 225 then just get the 7.5, but with 8 width 235 is perfect and 245 even better. i like the look for 18" wheel, but unless forged they will be heavy will slow you a bit...also will need to run 40 series if you don't mind the rougher ride...potholes will be unforgiving.

i'm thinking with 1 inch increase in size from 16 -> 17
i get 1 inch extra in width 6.5 > 7.5
or maybe 8
i think 8.5 might be too much wheel for the wrx.
