I reckon you want front shp 8's for the rear. My regular 8's rub at the rear but the car is lowered slightly. I need to roll the guards but I'm not brofessional enough.
They do suit the car best I think.

The above picture shows the SHP wheels which are an (Special Handling Package) upgrade & wider rim(s)

The widebody wheels came in the following sizes and offsets, and 5 stud of course!

16x7 +18 offset... standard front
16x8 +18, 0, -10 offsets (3 sizes)...+18 =SHP fronts, 0= Jap spec rear and -10 = US spec rear
16x9 0 offset... SHP rears

The best fit for the narrowbody is 16x7 all round or 16x7 front and 16x8 +18 or 0 offsets.

I was running 16x7 and 16x8shp on mine before i pulled it off the road and they fit fine. Could actually use spacing 5mm at each end i think but were fine as they were.

You can def get the 9" ones on the rear, i've tried it.
You can also get the 8" rears on the front, tried that to.
Just can't remember the tyre size that you need though...

I almost had this combination on my car, but i think some other rims came along. I chose this combo cause they had the best dish.
The 7" & 8" front wheels were a bit flat for my liking.
