that's a very broad question! If you want to stay with the stock offset of +55F/+65R, you will need to make sure the wheel you get is not too wide, otherwise, you will have clearance problems on the inside - you probably won't find aftermarket wheels with those offsets anyway. Go with the closest to stock offset that you can while still clearing the inside (suspension, calipers and fender on the outside.

5x114 is the bolt patter but make sure you stay hub centric (the center bores need to be the same size as stock) Use adapters if you have to though I'd rather not if I can help it.

Max,
Towne Fair Tire just got a whole new selection of wheels in. They are a New England outfit that I believe is based out of RI so you may just want to stop in and look. I got my winter tire wheels off of them and they set me up perfectly.

That's gonna be tough. The 18" wheels (and the rubber) are more expensive. Good luck.
