Default Help with rim upgrade

Hey guys I have a 2015 GS (not F-Sport) and I’m looking to upgrade my stock rims. This is all new to me and I would appreciate some feedback. I would like to delete that dreaded gap between my fender and tire while making them flush with the fender lip as well. Keeping the comfort and drivability would be nice too. Thanks again.

@Michalooch If you have 18" wheels, anything bigger will feel a bit more jarring. I think the sweet-spot for ride comfort and looks on the 4GS is actually 18" or 19" stock with touring tires (e.g. Pirelli Cinturato).

Here are a few great threads to start with as you'll see members lowered with stock wheels and members with aftermarket wheel setups and aggressively lowered:

My personal favorite look on the pre-refresh 4GS would be the 19" forged F-sport OEM wheel with the RSR downs:
