I would suggest 17x7 wheels with 215-40-17 tires (or 205-40-17). As for which tire to get, well, that depends on your budget. You'll want some kind of all-season unless you plan on having a winter-specific set of wheels. I have Toyo Proxes 4 Ultra-High Performance All-Season (UHPAS) tires on my 17's and they are tremendous.

You should stick to the 35mm-40mm range for the wheels offset.

If you want to keep a bit of ride comfort then stick with a good 16", I've read that 17" can have a harsher ride because of less sidewall to absorbe the bumps. Here's a couple good places to check for tires and rims, very decent prices.

Here's a set that I really like:
