Actually I was going to suggest you go with 20's. If you get the right wheel, they are lighter in a larger diameter than a tire would be and look great in my books.

If it were mine based on your criteria, I would go with intake, cam, and headers. Get everything that is CARB legal and keep your certificates available.

As far as axles go, as mentioned truss what you have and add heavy diff cover. Before you start changing gears, find a set of 12 bolt axles and build them. They will hold up to what your considering.
