I'm not running them but I know you can put a 10.5" with the right backspacing without too many problems on the back, but I don't think anything more 9" would be good up front

You'll have no problems at all with 9's all the way around, as long as the backspacing is correct

The offset (aka backspace) is the distance from the inside surface of the dished center (where the tire mounts to the axle), to the inside rim lip.

I used to have a 94 and the best looking wheels I have seen on those years in my opinion are lowered with a 18" rim
