I'm doing that once I get my coilovers, I love how the rear wheel tucks in like that.

I'm going to answer for him with the question that he would have asked:

What are the offsets?

Yes I can read minds.

The way I see it is:

If you're 4 lug - Nothing bigger than 16s. 17s and up are harder to find in good sizing.

If you're 5 lug - Nothing smaller than 17s.

17x9 +20 will be a little bit sunken in, the 16x8's will fit better.

If you don't mind like a 10mm spacer then go for the 17x9's. I personally don't like that style of wheel, but it's your car, and wider is better.

As long as you have rucas you can make both wheels fit. With the 16x8 +0's, you'll have to pull some camber to get them flush, with the 17x9 +20's you'll have to make it near 0 degrees in order for it to be flush.

Less camber means better tire wear, so I say go for the 17's.
