18 inch rx-8 rims, unlowered. It's being lowered soon. I would say go with 17's over 18's, you can run a decent tire size, so you wont have to worry about so much stuff. If you run 18's you have to use a 35 series tire, it still rides well but can be harder on the wheel.

I hope this pic doesn't turn out too big on this page, but this is with Mazda 3 17" rims. Not sure if its what you are looking for, but here it is.

195/45/17. not lowered yet, but no rubbing, and I pro'lly won't need to roll the fenders for my summer rims. I'm running 205/50/16 for the winter, and they might be just a little too wide. We shall see.,,

Looks hot man, I guess i'll see it at the fender party!
 
I'm running on 18" Drag DR-11s without being lowered yet. I have 215/35/ZR18 Toyo Proxes4s on them and have no problems with rubbing (gee...look at all my wheel gap...LOL!).
