If you're sticking with a 215 or 225 tire, you can safely continue to use a 7 in wide wheel and not leave much on the table in terms of performance. If you're planning on running 235 or 245, an 8 in wide wheel would be a better bet, and if you're looking for max grip with a 255, a 9 in wheel would be the best choice. Choose offset based on wheel width and amount of camber you plan to run, which in turn is affected by whether you're running OEM-type struts, or smaller diameter coilovers. Decide what size tire you want based on your intended use, and then select wheel size appropriately.
