If you want to go all out, use 17s on the front and 16s or 15s on the rear. Honda did this for their 2010 Super GT GT500 car, the HSV-010, using 18s on the front and 17s on the rear.
This is the best advice for choosing your wheel size. If you can find the tires you want in that size the smaller wheels offer big advantages.
