What size wheels/tires look good with stock ride height?

I think the car looks good with the larger tires. I also think it looks good with a higher stance. I've had the car on jackstands and with it about and inch or two higher, it looks cool. Plus it's easier to get in and out of, and easier to see when your driving. Ok, you can probably tell I don't give a **** about how the car handles, but... I do care about straight line performance. Oh, I may try the screw in coil spacers first, as those are easy to put in and easy to remove, and allow for adjustment. I mainly want the lift in the rear. I think an 1" or 1.5" would look good and maybe help with launching? It would raise the height and increase the stiffness in the springs.

205/50 x16 (rears) here ... looks great. In theory the m.net crowd would pelt me with their wine and cheese from messing up the scrub radius 
, but in practise it's fine.
I did have 215/50 x16 on before that, that was also a mean look! It looked slammed altho my springs are only about an inch lower than stock (4" if you're a '96 like me, lol).
With a turbo you'll be lucky to even notice the ~5% difference in tire diameter.
