Default Help running 17x9 on all four couners

Has anyone here run 17x9 wheels on all four corners? I hear that it will fit and will provide a lot of grip without rubbing. Also you can rotate the tires for better wear.

I currently have an 86 951 so I am quite sure I will need spacers. Does anyone know exactly what size? On Danno's RacerX site it says 21mm up front and 28mm in the rear are good for going from 86 offset to 87 offset wheels. Is this all I need or since I am looking for 9 in fronts do I need a different size spacer up front?

Thanks for any help,
John

when i bought my wheels the tires they had on them were 255 45 17's on the front, and 275 17's on the rear. 89 car late offset. They didnt rub, but looked like poo, im sure you could run 9's on the front as long as your tires are the right size like 225 40 17 or something.
