Rims size for a non lowered max

I am shopping for some rims, but my car is not lowered. What rims size would work good? I like the look of the stock 5 spoke rims, question is what size? Thanks~

There are some 18' SE rims FS now, do you think that is too big?

I've got a set of 17" on my unlowered Max. Everyone gives compliments on its stance.

Why dont people like putting rims on until the car is lowered? Abomb's other car looks nice on 18 not lowered.

because on the stock maxima height with after market rims it leaves to much of a wheel gap and it looks funny. when i put my old "18 on i had wished i lowered it first.

19's will look alot better, maybe consider some 19 inch axis milano rims, those things are beast man. i saw them on this one maxima, they looked so nice, AND it was lowered!
