LS with SC springs, what tire size/rim

I'm going to upgrade my rims and tires, but blewis is selling me his sc springs as soon as he gets his sportlines. If I want a 17" rim, what size will I need on the tire to get it to fill up the wheel well, and likewise what for 18" rim, or should I shoot for 19"? Will the three sizes affect my handling dramatically over the others?

if you just going with the SS/SC springs u may want to look at 18's or 19's.. They only lower the LS/LT's and inch or so, so you are still going to have A LOT of clearance... 225/45 18's would do a good job.. but honestly u may still want to lower your car more

i'm not a fan of going bigge than 17's on a 2.2 unless you have a big drop or a body kit. reason being is that most people think that a bigger wheel will fill the gap. wrong. you will still have the gap, and the car will be even higher than it was.
