I'd suggest a much smaller width for your fronts as there isn't anywhere near as much room to work with as the rears. You'd need a +50 offset to even come close to flush with 9.5 inch wheels and you'd be 30mm into the suspension, so the flares would be a must!
Up until last week I was running 225/35 on 18inch rims, 7.5 width and +35 offset. This setup rubbed the inside of the wheel well at full lock and scrubbed under hard cornering and was generally just a pain in the ass. With KW coilovers the clearance is so tight that I can't run any camber at all without camber plates (need to get that sorted haha), so if you think you'll go down the coilover route in the future bear in mind that wide fronts will make it alot harder!
I've got a 91 too, do you have power steering? Now that I'm on 215/35 I can tell you the car feels much nicer to drive! I only went smaller to get rid of the scrub but was genuinely surprised by how much better the car feels now.
