You can use 18x10" front and 18x12" rear with a 10mm increase in offset. Tyres are 255/35-18 and 295/30-18.

1982-1986 early offset cars would need 33.3mm offset
1987-1991 late offset cars will use 62.3mm offset
1988-1991 TurboS cars need 70-75mm offset

All need 2.5" coilovers in front for additional clearance. Only thing needed in rear is to strap the parking-brake cable to the spring-plate. It sticks out different amounts on each car and will rub the tyre on the inside.
