You might want to take a look through this huge thread, where you'll find a million different answers to your question:

https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/official-fc-wheel-fitment-thread-257700/

The "ideal" size will depend on a bunch of different variables. Like whether you're concerned about keeping the speedometer/odometer exactly accurate (then you'll want to keep the overall tire diameter close to stock). Do you want a "stretched" look or a more conventional fitment? What offset are the wheels you're looking at? What suspension do you have (stock base, stock "hard" suspension, aftermarket)? Do you want to add wider fenders, etc., etc.

Another place you can try is The Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com) where you can see what various wheel and tire combos supposedly fit your car, assuming everything is to be kept more or less stock.

Of course, you can also just look through the Suspension/Wheels/Tires section of this forum:
