You'll probably just get away with 16". Personally i wouldn't go for a 60mm drop. I've gone 40mm all round on 17" with no problems

Depending on width, offset and tyre size, you can fit pretty much whatever size wheels you like.
For example, a 205/35 r
18 has a smaller overall diameter than a standard 205/55 r15.
As for 'best', that depends on your priorites & preferences as to size (& dia vs width), weight, gearing, sidewall stiffness (handling vs ride comfort)...

Yep, depending on width, offset & tyre choice.
