On an 86? Depending on the type of wheel you are looking at, you may not have the option of "pass-through" spacers. I have an 86 turbo that I mounted 19x8.5s in the front and 19x10.5s in the rear. I had to purchase 25mm spacers and get 80mm wheel studs mounted. It was worth it though!! I've got a 7mm spacer from Racer's Edge in the front, and 25mm "star" spacers from Weltmeister in the rear.

You’re going from a 7" wide wheel w/ et 11mm to 9" wide wheel w/ et 42mm.
Plug those figures in for the front wheels and measure the resulting numbers to your car’s current wheels. Then you can determine which spacer to use with the new set.
Repeat for the rears.

The calculated results are in relation to your current wheels. So if you were to put the new wheels on without spacers the inner lip would be 56mm further in towards the strut from the current lip. The outer lip would be 6mm further inside the fender from your current wheels lip.
