Plug and play, bolt-in swap, it's very straight foward. You did the best thing by picking up the whole turbo car, this way you can swap the trans, DS, rear gear & LSD, gauge cluster, the works. Offset is going to be different for every wheel you buy, since some companies seem to measure them slightly different, but general conscensus says anywhere from +35 to +50 depending on size and a few of other variables. Stock sawblade offset is +35 with a 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern.

Sweet, now lets see some mods on that thing soon. :) Oil pressure on the 7m is always low, that's just how it is, low pressure high volume. Did you change out the valve cover gaskets? If you did then did you torque them to 22ft/lbs? Change them out, clean the mating surfaces, and don't over torque them, that will solve your leaking problem.

If your alarm is going off at "random" times then something is broken obviously, it's probably the push switch in the door jamb, could be user error. How are you unlocking it? Arm it by using the key in the door or pushing the lock button, disarm it by using the key in the door, it's that simple. If you want to disable it completely, pop the hood and unplug the push sensor by the latch. My door jamb button was broken along time ago, so I'd have to pull the chinese-firedrill to the passenger side door real quick to shut it off. The switch (the one with the plastic arm, not the rubber button) is the same on most toyota's so it's very easy to find an unbroken one, MKI MR2's, MKIII Supra's, Cressida's I believe also.
