Just putting on my 16's with 245 rear tires raised my ride height over my old 15's with 60 series tires, but the larger rims do fill out the fenders nicely and grip more in turns.
For NA I'd go with 16's, just because rotational inertia increases with the square of the radius, and rotational inertia is part of what slows the car down, not simply wheel weight. But 17's are usually heavier than 16's anyhow. For pure NA straight line acceleration, the stock BBS 15's are the best bet IMO.
