Mines lowered on 18's with no problems

18" is the best all round choice.

Depends on the width and ET of the wheel. A really wide 16" alloy will rub the arches if you're low enough.

i've got 19's.... look nice but makes the ride a tad too hard really, I'd stick with 18's for a daily driver.

Are you on 55mm springs or coils?
