For 235 tires, 8" wheels are fine. (I run 245 on my 8" wheels). But I dunno, maybe 8.5" would be better...I'd have to really think that over. Tirerack has wheel width recommendations for their tires if that helps.
How much of your interior are you planning on removing? Obviously i would love to take most of it...but the piece i would be most interested are the pillar pieces, the roof liner/sunroof, the back quarters, upper/lower dash, center console...pretty much everything plastic as the carpets are reasonably priced in new oem fashion. Please let me know what your plans are? I live in Minneapolis so I am not really in any huge hurry as the snow is falling and the car is already in storage for the winter.
