8.5" wheels should be no problem. More than 9" is probably more of a challenge.

I disagree, lowering increases the risk of rubbing on wider rims/tyres, you can 'get away' with a certain increase in width without lowering, but lower it and then depending on off-set, strut and inner arch construction, etc you may end up rubbing..... been down this road before when car was too low, so had to opt for less of a drop to stop the rubbing (back in the day).
Anyways, as above, my pref would be to go for a 8.5" on the back, 8" up front.
