Your going to need some spacers with the rims some grinding. I believe the spacers are about .3125 inches.
You would want to choose ~7.5@10inch for the rear and ~1.75@3.5 inch for the fronts. I wouldn't choose a smaller rim as your tire widths are more limited.
A suggestion is to choose a set of Bogarts which are lighter, higher quality and built FOR your car. To give you an idea, choosing a set of bogarts and comparing unsprung weight/static weight issues vs choosing a set of welds you would be saving ~80 lbs with the Bogarts...the Bogarts have their advantages and are literally worth their weight in $$. They just don't look pretty
Give me a call or e-mail if you need additional assistance.
Hope this helps,
Steve
