don't know about the wheel upgade, but the window motor is like:
1 Remove the interior door panel.
2 Drill the three dimples out with a 1/2" drill bit.
3 Drill out the rivits that hold the motor in place.
4 Remove motor.
You can use screw to reinstall motor

This may help but its the wrong year:

Yeah, what do you mean by wheel upgrade? different size. Like going from a 15" to a 17"? Just make sure you buy the wheels with the correct hole patterns.

Need more info please

Like I said before, just make sure you get the correct hole pattern. I would go to the local tire place as well. They would know what would fit. The tire profile would probably need to be smaller to fit the 18's in the wheel wells
