Nice clean car, you can tell you are from Iceland from all the plumbing in the garage.
There are some great fitment threads under the wheels section.
I have coilovers and when they are on it is bumpy but the car feels alive, and looks way better without wheel gap. Your your rim choice is great.
Cheers.

Nice Car, what country are you from? Is it a Hi-Power engine? I noticed on this car, your not using a front plate. Is it not necessary?
This is just me, but I would stick to the 18's. The larger diameter wheels are heavier and the tires go up in price. Without the proper sizing of the tire will result in a slower launch than the car presently has.

we have a pothole that can kill tires/wheels (or both) every block or 2. Im not lying.
and "mini pot holes" everywhere that will turn into big pothole.
in the past 5 years I got
1 set of coilover (HKS Hipermax III)
2 OE Wheels bent
4 tires cuz the pothole killed the sidewall (too deep, Boom!)
2 underbrace broke
2 of shock absorber broke (replaced under warranty)
and NYC will never fix the roads, they are just letting it rot, cuz city has no money.
