Camber adjustments shouldnt be an issue, but rolling would be.. but if i rolled and did camber adjustments whats the largest tire i could put on 265, 275?

You can put 20'' rims after you get a wide body kit.

^If your going for looks, then get 19's. 20's are just too big for this car.

Just looked and they are 18x8 and they have an offset of either 35 or 42, which would be better between the two?

^35 would be better. But IMO getting aftermarket wheels that are the same width as stock is worthless unless your preparing for B Stock. Get at least 18x8.5 or 18x9. It will look much more aggressive, and provide more grip.

^Depends on what size and offset you get. 245-255 is good for a 18x8.5. 255-265 is good for a 18x9...And so on...What wheels are you interested in?
