Depends on what kind of perfomance. If you want drag, skinnis and some monsters on the back. Auto cross, probably the biggest low profile you can get. Bigger rims cut into some of your power though.

For general purpose use, the most reasonable setup seems to be a 17x9.5" wheel with a 275/40-17 tire on it.... fits fine, no rubbing, front to rear rotation is possible, several wheels to choose from, reasonable prices for tires.
