About the Wheels:
It will drive a whole lot better with the factory offset (or close to it) on the front wheels. There are 0 offset trailer wheels that work well enough, though they are a little more offset outboard than stock wheels. I'm presently running those. I have used 16" Ford steel wheels and they steer OK. Later Chev 16" wheels will not work as the edge of the rim hits the steering arm so the wheel will not turn freely until it wears a groove in the steering arm. Not good. Factory 17" wheels are the best but your choice of tires is very limited.
