Ideal wheel size

OK so I have been reading around but can't find the right answer. There probably isn't one. Anyway I will be changing my final drive gear on my gearbox but before I do that I want to upgrade my wheels so I don't have to do it again. I like Mercedes Wheels but I don't know which size to get. Is there a consensus on the ideal alloy size and tyre profile that will get me the most comfortable drive?

Thanks in advance

Yes there is.
In the wiki is a tyre size calculator.
The original size tyre fitted was 185 X 14C
It had an 82% profile giving a diameter of 659mm overall.
