I think anything bigger than 16s looks stupid on an FB. Just my oppinion.

I own a SE and I have 15" rims. I have them wrapped in 205/55R15 Toyo Proxes 4's. I agree anything larger than 16 is too big. When I converted from my stock (I think 8lb) aluminum rims to my 15" 11lb rims I noticed a difference in performance. Imagine what it would be like with 17" which by the way are as big as you can get in an FB I believe. The whole 1" or rubber on the wheel and all.
IMO, 205/50R15 is as big as you should go with a stock body and to retain the same diameter. Yeah, 16 and 17 is the current trend, but you have to admit they greatly change the classic look of the car ( for better or worse, still a drastic change to have so much more wheel and so little section width of tire ).
