All the warm zone guys are going to tell you to get big ones since the roads are smooth. If you live with a varying climate you may want to consider how riding around on cold rubber bands will feel when you hit a bump, cross a train track, or whatever. Have you had much dental work? 
It just boils down to how practical you need the car to be for where you live and what you do. My 18"s are fine with me, but some of these guys use bigger wheels than that for snow tires! Sounds like if you're willing to roll the fenders, you want the big look. GL with your choice.

26's are the biggest.
BTT: IMO, 20's are the biggest you should go on an e60
