Just thought it best to triple check fitment here to be safe. Ive had relatively flush fitment on my cars in the past (current below), but given the 86 is my daily I’m looking for something that adds a bit of width, but won’t cause any scrubbing issues when pushing. I’ve come up with the below, which (hopefully) will fill out the guards nicely, but not give too much poke.
18x9 ET45-47 (front)
18x9 ET38 (rear)
245/35/18s
I’m looking to lower on coilovers (likely ST based on advice here given they’re well priced and appear to be relatively comfortable) at the time of fitting wheels, or shortly after.
I believe the front may have trouble clearing the front spring before I fit coilovers. Will the above width / offset avoid notable poke once lowered (25-30mm)?

You will not be able to fit 18x9 ET45-47 on stock suspension. Honestly, wait till you get your coilovers installed even then that +47 offset is way too high you maybe able to fit it with a smaller tire size.
Yes, once you are lowered it will not poke out as much and you will be close to flush. I would honestly look for a lower offset wheel for the fronts something close to your offset in the rear.
