Even with the OEM diameter it is tight in front diameter wise (with stock struts, coilovers typically don't have as big of a lower spring perch), if the 25.4" fits it will be tight, you should test fit it to be sure.

Should be plenty of room in the back for that tire though.
Front & rear tires will fit fine on 986 wheels, don't know about the 987 offset wheels.

Rear tire is tall enough to have a noticeable loss of acceleration, unaceptable on a 2.7L 986
