Id like to know also, put my 8in RL7's on on sunday to MK cruise, 215 on the front and only the drivers side rubbed not the passenger 
, back was fine with that size but i have some 235's for the rear next week 
Remember it depends alot on the offset also

RSCAT im buying the rims from image, they can make almost any size you need, made to order and takes 6 weeks. Have a look at their website if your after some, I might be able to you discounted price. I might just go with 9"s to be safe but some ones gota know if 10s will fit.

8's will go on the front, but both Adjustable Top Mounts and Adjustable TCA's need to be fitted really. Kit and arch needs to be basically trimmed back to flush (i.e lip completely removed) with 215-225 on the front on a 30 profile.
Exstensive arches mods will be needed on the back, same as front but tubbing will need to be done i think so the wheels dont extended massively past the arch.
If you wish to get the arch "Properly rolled" and i mean rolled and not just trimmed with a grinder its gonna cost mega money to make it look good and factory. I think you will be taking a gable with the rear as regards offset so they dont hit the suspension strut.
Im only going 9's on the rear beacuse of this reason

No its not really needed LOL but i thought if it will fit then why not. But ive decided to go with what you said and stick with 9". Ryan your car looks well nice, one of my favourite cars, ive got a framed pic of that beast.
And dont worry about good tyres im not gona skimp on them either.
