My personal choices would be

15 X 7 for the front and 15 X 10 for the back with 295/50/15's BF Goodrich white letter tires (on the rear only) you will need to raise the back end up with either spring spacers or air shocks though but they aren't really that expensive especially if you can find used rims in good condition as the savings vs new will pay for the suspension upgrade easily, and your car will launch better with a stiffer suspension
