Default Best rim and tire size

Looking in to buying a new set of rims and shoes for summer and using the stock for winter. What is the best size rim and tire to make the tire well fill up without lowering and without any tire rub? Also what website would you guys recommend for some custom insano rims?

22's fill up the wheel wells oh so nice but you have to run a 30 series tire, so IMO a 20" wheel would be best with a 245/35/20 tire.

I Have the 20x8.5 with 245/35R20 Tires no rub and it fills it up pretty nice I think. Try superbuytires.com or tirerack.com

I'm kind of feeling the 20" rims. Looks very nice. If they dont rub and look great then they would be a buy for me. I can live with reduced ride comfort.

It's not just the reduced ride comfort that I hate about going larger than 18s, it's the fact that you have to avoid every single dip in the road in fear that you will bend a rim since it's not protected well from tire thickness.
