Thinking of building my own steel wheels, What size???

[MonkeyMadness]

Thinking of building my own steel wheels, and I would like to know what the
best wheel size would be...
I'm looking at using one of two different centers. The size I go with will dictate what center I'll use either the BMW steely center or the center from the scion/Toyota steely..
What I want to build is a perfect fit wheel.. I would like to have a meaty rear
that comes to the edge of my fender.. I'm ok with rolling the fender if needed.
I'm also ok with running "a little" tire stretch... I would also like the do the same in the front..
I want to go with either a 15" or 16" rim, But I am open to 17" in a 4x100

What I seek is a good wide Width, but I want to stay with the +25 offset, in a 15 or 16.. On stock suppention, but lowered 2" from stock..... ?
Examples of what I would like, or use..

it may look cool but thats way way way too heavy, good by gas mileage, goodbye acceleration, goodbye stopping distance.

If you insist on keeping an offset of 25, I would make them 16x7.5 and run a 205/45.

Make sure the wheel center will clear the brake caliper and clip before you have them made. This is a problem with DR steelies.

If you make them 16x7.5, run a real tire and do a 225/45.

I'd do 8" in a 15 or 16. Run 225's in either size.

I'm down with a 225 as well. It's all about personal preference.
