rode my s14 on 18's daily.....smaller wheels will get better gas, but 18's will look better.

17 with a 30 offset.

Not too big but not small either.

But i suggest doing the suspension first.

i hate 4x4 240's.....

if your only lowering it about 2inches, trying to pull off a 15inch wheel isnt going to work. i would say lower your car about 3ish inches and pull off a better stance. i say 17x9.5 +35 offset though in the rear, and 17x8.5 in the front with a +35 offset
