Re: wheels and tires
Keep the overall height about the same as stock. 'bout 25.5" to 26" tall.
Stick with a zero offset, or use adapters so that they'll fit like they have zero offset.
A 275 width tire will fit out back without issue, and should fit up front, with maybe just the ever so slight contact on the inner liner. A small .25" spacer will fix, though many people have no issue.
LOTS of aftermarket options with a 17x9 or 9.5" wheel, with a zero offset. Fits a 274/40/17 tire very well, and is more less the go-to standard for these cars.
Beyond those specs, you really need to be careful. Take lots of measurements, do test fitments and be prepared for some possible modding to make fit.
