Default What size FIkses You Reccomend?

I might be getting a set of Fm5 built soon and im wondering which sizes you reccomend? I have a 2000 WS6, thats going to be lowered with BMR lowering springs. I was thinking of doing a 17x9.5 all around to get a nice simple appearance or 18 inch all around. What sizes would you guys reccomend to look the best and function the best for daily driving! thanks!!

I'm rather fond of the 17", I like the bigger sidewall for cornering. Pics of FM5's on the website.

Thanks!

275 40 17's.

I went with 38mm offset, really puts them at the edge of the fender and looks great. As opposed to say standard WS6 rims that stick 'in'.

Wow I guess we can use that low of an offset cause there 17's? I had 18's before Y2k replicas but I didnt like how sunk in they were
