Tire size/type ideas?

Looks like to me, your car already has the right stance. I would get some 15 x 7 wheels (ask others for your correct backspacing), and 225/60/15 tires. If you have the right backspacing, they'll fit great, look good, and improve handling without messing up the ride.

I don't think you need to lift your car at all, but I'd get the tires and wheels first.
