Help With Tire/Wheel Setup

I love the look of these wheels



Ive been trying to figure out what size to get and what will look the best (most aggressive etc)

Heres a picture of my car (lowered by 1.5 ISH by previous owner not sure of exact measure):


How do i figure out the right sizing for my wheels/tires? (ill buy a package from AM when my current tires wear out)

1.5" isnt all that much. but i know theres links on their site where you can ask a question and people that run the site/people that are hired know the answers to you questions lol

say for instance this set

wont rub on the front. they use the same size rim/tire on the front that i ran on my v6 with a 1.5" drop and i had no rubbing issues. the back wont rub
