Default Wheelsize without drop?

Mods, please move thread if neccessary.

I kind of have a double question here that could really be in either category. What size wheel should I look for without any suspension alteration? I live in an area that has a lot of bumper cracking potential and was wondering what size to do on a 6th gen accord sedan?

From the lack of response, it seems like this is not recomended.

New question, 17" wheels on 6th gen with how much drop to still use as much factory components as possible.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the suspension area for some decent equipment. So because the center of gravity is changed...higher, you have to drop the car to even achieve the same ride height as factory? That makes sense to me. I just don't want to go too low because of the amount of dips here. I have seen tons of lowered cars here with lots of front bumper damage.
