Got it, and I'm glad to hear that you're still shopping and doing research. Here's a great sticky thread that covers wheel fitment and shows tons of wheels on our cars:

Pay particular attention to offset and weight, and fight the urge to go crazy wide - the car will generally be slower and less fun to drive.

As for solid coilovers on a budget, here's a thread from today that recommends ST Suspensions coilovers:

While I don't have first hand experience with them, they are wholly owned by German giant KW Automotive and seem to be coming up frequently in threads here on the forum. Keep in mind all of the entry-level coilovers have limitations, but they seem solid and worth a look, along with various other offerings from Racecomp Engineering (also KW Automotive based) and Tein.

I hope this was helpful. Good luck and, once again, welcome to our community!
