The problem is whether you are going for looks, ride or performance. Also critical is the road condition.
I have tried everything from 14 to 17 inch. With a lowered suspension you need stiff springs, go 17 and there is absolutely no give. Even driving over an ant gives you a noticeable thump. Driving up to 750 miles one way on rural roads I went back to 14 inch 60s for a fast comfortable ride, but for show and flat roads 16 inch look best.
Anything bigger looks out of character for an early eighties car; like a grandmother in a blonde wig.

Your car looks like a 240hatch from the side, but alot better.
