I think 18" wheels would look good, especially some 5 spokes, while lowering it with the 89' kit, but then again, look at my Mi16! - I like the look of slammed cars, 17" at least, maybe 18" I don't know - I'd have to see them on the car. Anyways, I wouldn't reccomend using spacers of anykind, wheel to the hub is the best way to go, there's a place here in here in Cali called DTM Autohaus in El Monte that makes their own wheels in a few different looks that are pretty cool, I went there & showed them my 86 Turbo back when I had it and told them the bolt patters & they said if I bought a set they'd custom machine them (Offsett & Bolt Pattern)so they'd fit properly, they'll make them in any size I think from 17"-20".
