I’m not very familiar I with the differences between rwd and awd front struts but they are different. Based on my experience, the 9.5 needed 8mm of spacer and maxed out camber on my coilovers with linear springs on the lowest settings.
When I had h&r coils with progressive springs (similar to stock diameter) the 9.5 wouldn’t fit. With the HRs I wasn’t much lower than a sport rwd suspension, but maybe stock height gives more space? The other difference between our cars, is I believe my front fenders are plastic and yours are metal so you have the ability to roll them I would think.
Check out apex wheel figment guides. They’re probably more helpful than anything I’ve said. However, I will make a post with my wheel set up after I get my alignment done. Hopefully next week.

Yeah ur right, I ended up getting 18x8.5j all round with 225/40 tyres and they fit great, but its pretty tight in the front. If i had 9.5j im pretty sure the fronts would rub or not fit at all.
