    wheel size, 16x7 or 16x8 if you know how to calculate offsets. somewhere from +30 to +40 will be generally safe depending on width.
    tire size, 205/45/16 is a common size that fits decently.
    corner lights: you have to determine whether your car is pre or facelift. 86/87 model is pre, 88/89 is facelift. now that you know, you get to choose between usdm (all orange), jdm (clear upper, darker orange bottom), or my favorite eudm (clear upper, orange bottom).
    they WILL interchange between pre and facelift, but you should know that the prefacelift upper section of the grille is further back than the facelift grille so it MAY look ...not perfect.

    pre to post

    Yeah I just discovered the part about the different grilles the hard way...I found a pristine white 88 at the local boneyard (Ecology in SFS, CA) and snagged the whole grille and corners for my 87 GTS (and a bunch of other oddball shit for 40 buck$). It wasn't plug an play, but with a little finesse it came out almost perfect...
