Keeping in mind the camber plates and not changing any other suspension. I hear square set ups(this terminology was new to me).
I can get advans or else to fit in standard rim and tyre sizes. What would you recommend

Depends on what you're interested in.
Anthony235 runs a pretty aggressive setup with 18x9.5 x 4 (I do not remember the offset), I think. Still, it's a 18 255/35 tire at all corners. My car is on 18x8.5 APEX ARC-8 wheels with 255/35 tires at all corners (pilot super sports -- I don't do much track work these days, so they make more sense).
Not many (read: no one) have been able to fit more than a 255 wide tire in the front (I think some race shop did it on a 228, but it was an actual race car, not a street car). If you want track tires, advans are ok, but you might want to look at Bridgeston RE-71Rs or Hankook RS4 or Dunlop Direzza II Star Specs. They're all pretty sticky.
