Each forum has a different general consensus, E38 prefer 17", here prefer 16"...

Personally, I like 15" on a 45 profile, but that does make you mentally low if you want to eliminate arch gap.

Most sensible choice is a 16" if it's gonna get dropped on it's arse.

15" with 195-50 tyres on, as VW intended.  Also worth noting, if you go 15s and 45 profile, your speedo will be out, not by much, but it will be out.
