I agree with juniorbean in that rims are all a matter or personal preference. You need to decide what kind of look you are going for and how much you want to spend.

With regards to whether you will get any rubbing or not, it will depend on the offset and width of the rim. I would recommend a 7 or 7.5" width and an offset of around +50. The stock offset is +55, which is high compared to most cars, so the closer your rims are to that the better they will fit the original specs of the car. I have rims that are 17x7.5 +45 and I do get some minor rubbing when the car is loaded with people. BTW, I have comptech springs which lowered the car 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back (I think).

Here is a link to some pics of my car.
