You could fit OEM 19" wheels (172M for example), 8.5" front, 9.5" rear ,tyre sizes 245/35R19 front , 275/30R19 rear.

For looks I'd go with 20", if you plan on tracking or racing at all I wouldn't go bigger than 19" but 18" is ideal since it is lighter. Once you figure out what size wheel you want then you can move forward to tire sizes.
