Depends on the backspacing and such...I doubt they will fit in the front, should fit in the back if the backspacing is correct though.

Well I know that the 91-93 have more well space than the 87-90's I've seen many a 93 with 17X9's fit with rubbing only at wheel lock(sterring wheel turned all the way) So you may have a chance

93GreenLX is correct. i have a combo set on my car. 17"x8" in the front and 17"x9" in the back. i do experience some rub when the wheel is turned all the way though on those ones in the front so be careful.
