Looking at the Volk TE37RT wheels I am going to buy them individually so I can use all of one size or stagger them if it's needed. I am also willing to used wheel spacers
of whatever size is needed. They are....
17x9.5 +40 offset
18x10 +44 offset
What size tires I am about 1.5 inch lowered and I don't mind stretching for them to fit?

Yes, it will be OK.

Future reference = read this thread and grab a measuring device and/or online calculator.

If you're buying wheels , buy the correct width / offset and skip the spacer.

Tires for 9.5" and 10" can be found by reading or searching this thread.

exactly what i have. its okay as long as its not touching. my coils arrive next week so i wont have to worry anymore.

plus, on full wheel lock, my rims hot the tie rod. you should have that same problem so keep the full wheel turn to a minimum

I'm pretty sure I've done my math right this time;

Work Meister SR1 Standard 5x100, 18x9.5 -20 w/ 255/35r18, all corners

Looking for about 2in/50mm poke in in back, little bit more is going to be up front, lowered half an inch, no more than an inch though.

Anyone know what that would be like?

The wheels will be 13mm more flush than stock, but not "flush" To achieve a flush with these wheels look you will need a 10mm spacer in the front and 15mm in the back. The tires are very large for our cars, 5% error in your spedometer and higher effective gearing.

Stock green, your proposed setup orange (ignore the suspension in the picture, it is not reflective of our cars):

Wheel selection, OK. Will fill a bit but def not poke.

Tires included with wheels, bad selection for 86. Tire is too tall. 225/40 is a better choice.

9.5 -20
Rough estimate :
70mm-75mm front poke
50-60mm rear poke
