My Bad,
  Sorry.  Anyhow, I would still think that if you can do 225's
on a 4kq (which is tight) then you can on the 90q.  Where does
it rub first.  I've found on the 4kq that 35mm offset doesnt
work in back.  45mm is great in back but then your awefully
close to the tie rod in front and either have to grind it or get
some say 6mm spacers.  Maybe a similar setup woule work on the
type 89?
