Hi,
Only just noticed your post and am guessing the reason for little response is that people are using 17, 18 and even 20 wheels and it's hard to give you a recommendation as it's very much your need and preference, plus of course budget.
In general terms the larger the wheel the smaller (lower aspect ratio) and possibly the stiffer the side wall. Ford themselves offer 17 and 18 for the Custom, so match their offsets (as close as you are able) and you really can't go wrong. Just be sure the load ratings of the wheel design and tyres are suitable.

Hope that helps
