The fronts will require grinding, or a spacer. I'd go with Welds new R/T wheels, or Bogarts new street/strip wheels. They are the only two companies that have a direct bolt on front and rear wheel, in the correct backspace/offset for 4th gen F-bodies.
You will want ARP studs.
12mm x 2.5 fronts
12mm x 3.25 rears
Lug nuts will need to be a shank style 12mm x 1.5 open end.
Tires, well that depends on a lot of things. What kind of driving you do, transmission setup, rear end gear, how high you spin the motor RPM wise, ect.

I would get the M/T drag radials. I would try the new 295/55/15's that are coming out. You will have to roll the fender lips and massage the inner fender wells, but it will look good. You could also go with the 325/50/15's, but good luck on the work to get those things to fit a lowered car. Not saying it can't be done, just saying it's a tight fit.

Well, with that car idealy a 26" tire would be best for performance (like a 275/50/15) but a 28" tire would look a lot cooler. Since you don't go to the track a lot, I guess it doesn't matter if a 28" slows you down a couple tenths. 325/50/15s should fit with no problems. I have them under my car, and it's lowered about 1.75" in the rear and they don't rub.

There's grinding and then there is grinding. The grinding to fit 15x4 B/S fronts is quite moderate. You are just rounding the outer edge of the caliper. I did an article about it:

Make sure the rears are the F-Body specific set. Most guys, including myself, are running the MT Sportsman front runner in 26x7.5x15, part number is MTT-1573 through Summit
