Opinions and advice needed on 13 / 14 inch wheels

[Toads]

Hello guys and gals! I'm new to micras and this website just picked up a 2001 1.0 micra and I'm ready for a fresh look, what do you guys reckon 13 or 14 inch? Would a 14 x 6 fit properly without rubbing at full lock? I also intend to pop some lowering spring on soon enough, do you reckon 30mm would suffice?
I'd love suggestions on wheels you guys might like / want to see on a k11, keep in mind I'll be entering targa rallys aswell so no reps that can't handle a good knock and a bump.... thanks in advance!

I run 13x5.5 with a decent sidewall (175/60). So if you ran a 14x6 with like a 185/50 your overral diameter is pretty much the same. Adding just 0.5 of an inch in wideness wouldnt be a problem plus you can run a more agrresive ET to poke the wheels closer to the arch (Thus having even more clearance on the inside).
What i would really check is what tires you can get on 13s and 14s. Also would check the weight if you are concerned with performance. (maybe getting a light wheel if you wanna run it with semi slicks perhaps. For targa rallye i would check Braid wheels maybe.
Lastly i think 30mm drop is quite nice specially on improving handling (HyR lowering springs for example), but looks wise i think it really needs more of at least 40mm drop.
I know Vogtland make a 35mm kit but more than that i think you should go with coilovers. More drop than that with standard shocks and you are losing a lot of travel from the suspension
*If you drop it you should check the rear panhard rod is when lowered this whould shift the rear suspension to one side. You need an adjustable one preferably or make a custom one*
