16s or 17s on STOCK SUSPENSION, most appealing?

Btwn 16x7, 17x7 and 17x7.5 rims, on a STOCK SUSPENSION, which one do you think will make your Fit really stand-out, but only good taste so nothing outrageous, also no chance of rubbing with some people in the car... and what's the ideal offset per each rim, please...
And about tires, 205/45R16, 205/40R17, 215/40R17 or maybe other size?
Thank you very much.
Chris

Any choice you choose depends on what you want. The rim, the tire will all play into how the rims are perceived on your car. I'd get 16's cause 17 are too heavy unless you can afford nicer 1's

I think 17s by nature stand out more, I run a set of 17" RTX +45 offset rims wrapped up with 195/40/R17's.

Below is 2 pictures of my Fit (Shown with stock suspension, 17's with 205's)
Note: If you want to run 205's with 17's you have to watch out which brand you choose or you will end up with rubbing, BF Goodrich and Falken tires seem to be the best choices.



This is a follow up pic with Tanabe GF210's and 17's now wrapped in 195's
