The question as always is, why go that wide in the first place? The more you up the offset and oversize the more the geometry gets out of whack and your car will feel like it's driving itself; it'll tug and dart all over the road.

17 is the best for FC's
Theres almost no diffrence between the 17's and 18's
18's look ****** great on these cars but its all about what kind of rim it is. The main reason to not go with 18's or over is there heavy and the whole point is to keep the weights down so keeping this in mind in gonna be goin with 17's max and the lightest i can find. This is a good mix of wieght savings and looks.

If you buy Ground Control, you can specify what spring rate you want. Call them and they will help you figure out what you need, based on the ride quality you want. I recommend getting 6" 300-350lb front springs and 7" 200-250 lb rear springs for a decent ride. You should get a 2" drop, depending on the spring rate.
Check out MikeL's site. He has a good write up.
