What type and diameter of wheels do you plan to install?  I would recommend 
either a 14X6 (1" wider than stock) or 15X6 wheels with 3.5" of back space 
to clear the front tie rod ends (it will still be close--check for fit 
before you buy).  This will also give you pretty much the same offset as 
the stock wheel.

Once you have chosen a wheel size, we can begin a new discussion on tires. <G>
