I know 91 wheels will fit on an 86 with no issues. I had sawblades on my 86 with 275/40/17s on all for corners.

I know the offset changed in '88 but think spacers will make it right for you.

They will fit, but they'll look a little weird because they will sit in about 3/4". This is the reason most people but 3/4" adapters when putting latter model rims on the 84-87 cars.
