Need definitive answers on 5 lug spindles!

I have 2003 spindles under my 88 with a rear axle out of a turbo coupe. My original plan was to run 17x9 in fornt with 18x10 in back. I bought one of each to see if they fit. Both were too wide. I sent those back and got 17x8 for the front and 18x9 in the back and they worked great, and the car looks good having two sizes. My front tires rub the inner fenderwell a little, and the back rub if I corner hard, but I still have the stock suspension in the back. I did put a 2003 rear axle under mine, it was 1.5" too wide. So I opted for the turbo coupe. The rims are chrome bullets and I ran 245/45/17 NT555 in front and I believe 285/35/18 NT555R in back. Not happy with the drag radials, but like I said I have stock control arms still. I'll post some pics of it once I take some or find some, but I just realized I really dont have any good ones that show the rims. You can roll the fender and fenderwell and loose the quad shocks, but I had already repainted the car and it was looking good, so it wasnt worth it to me just for a deeper dish.
