wheels should be a 4x100 bolt patters, with an offset close to +40mm.

As for ECU... anytime you start messing with the computer its going to be pricey. A performance filter alone wont benefit from an ECU "reboot", a full up system will run you close to a grand... and only unlock close to 10hp at most. With more mods the jump will be more worth it, but right now... not too great of an idea for the cost.

unhook the battery, then let it sit for about half an hour, hook it back up, and start it and let it idle for about 5-10 minutes w/o any load on it. it will relearn the air-fuel ratios and adjust accordingly, giving you a little bit of power and fuel economy.

check up on a header or even some suspension work. You can have all the power in the world, but if it doesnt hook then its useless.
