Either the

1. 17x9.5 / 17x11 (the perfered/common combo)
2. 18x10.5?/10 all the way around

I think pretty much everyone loves the big meats in the rear with the 17" combo. I like both, I also think that the 18's fill the wheel well really good, though.

Check out this thread for a pic of the powder coated 17" combo:

17x9.5front and 17x11rear if you have the money to buy new tires everytime due to the fact you cant rotate your tires.
