Default 17 wheels on 86 coupe

Do you have to use spacers on the front and the back?
If you use the 17 x 8.5 from a 94-96 do you still have to use spacers.
What is the correct offset for an 84-86 versus 88 and later?
Thanks

I recently put stock wheels from a 1990 on my 1986-yes you will need the spacers...
