Let me know what you figure out.

I could be wrong, but those look like 16's. I would go w/ 17's but check w/ some other users who run 18's like jookybananna. From what I understand the size doesn't matter as much as the offset (+45 and you have less chances of rubbing w/o modifiying the fenders) Also, a 195 tire will help decrease chances of rubbing. Really you can do whatever you want, but be prepared to put in some work to make it fit if it's not high offset and 195.

I know there's a ton of posts on this thread, but if you dig around you can figure out what has worked for people in the past. Good luck!

No ideas sorry. I'm on Swifts and they won't drop it as low as the pic but they might come pretty close. They're about as comfortable as you can get lowered. With coilovers I would check some of those threads to figure it out.
