Do ya'll have any suggestions on what tires to run? Based off what I'ved read on this thread I will need spacers to bring the fronts out more?
Found 2 different sets of 03's that are 18x10 +22 that I thought would look nice on the rear and use the 17x 9 for the front.

Blitz 03's ftw. The 17x9's are sweet but the 17x8's will need a spacer for sure. This is my car on 17x8.5 +25 with 205/40s and 18x10 +22 with 225-40s:
Granted I have 50mm overfenders in the rear but I'm fairly confident you could squeeze them on a pulled stock body. I had a 25mm spacer on the 10's with no camber and a 20mm spacer on the 8.5s with maxed camber plates. Your 8's will be about 26mm more sunk even with a 20mm spacer. But put it at zero camber and it would fit alright.
Personally, I'd run the 9's up front with a 215-40 and a small spacer. My LMGT4's are the same size and I needed a 5mm spacer to clear the coilovers, which are also PBM. Then either get the 10s on YAJ and sell the 8's or just rebuild the 8's. Those are welded so you would need to cut the welds if you go that route. You could rebuild to 9.5j +26 or 10j +20 for instance.
Also, so you can approximate tire size, I run 17x9 all around and have 205-40s up front (which I want to switch to 215-40s) and 225-45s in the rear.
