Gotta factor suspension geometry, and the fact that FWD doesn't get off the line as well as RWD. I'm guessing low 6s.

Larger rims and wider tires might look better, but they *can* ruin the feel of the car. Just mentioning it, as ppl are already talking 18" and larger
True, but if rims are too small then there can be too much play with tire flex (and rolling over the sidewalls). 17" is to me the sweet spot, anything beyond that and it's a trade of form over function.
