Just bought a AE86! looking for wheels and tires

So i just bought a 87' AE86 coupe tonight! very excited! needs some love but will be a fun daily driver/ project. It has a set of 15" wheels on it now but they are ugly as hell haha. tires are pretty beat too. looking to get a new cheap set of wheels and tires. Im open to a good set of used ones if anyone has them. but what would you guys suggest for new (width of wheels/ tire size) im really not looking to spend alot. Any help would be greatly apreciated! will post up pics soon!

BUMP! also the guy had just replaced pretty much the whole brake system (calipers, master cylinder, brake lines etc. but the brake pedal is really low and soft. we tried bleeding it and no air in the system and no leaks. Also if you pump them up with the car off you get a good pedal but not with the engine on. does it sound like the brake booster is bad? thats what im guessing and if so is it hard to replace?

The pedal firms up when pumping the pedal with the engine off because you used up the residual vacuum and lose the power assist. Hold pressure on the pedal then and start the engine...it should sink down a bit. If anything, it sounds like the booster is working properly.
