I am gonna get 15X7 110X4 for my 79 but I don't know nothing about the offset. What offset would a 79 take with no body or suspension modifications? PLMK, thanks

Those are 15x7, +10 rims with 205/50-15 rubber. Inner tire face is only about 6mm from the strut tower/spring, so bringing them in any more would be chancy with stock-profile springs. Coilovers would give more room, likely.

You'll still need to roll your fenders with that setup. I ran 205/50x14's on the back and they were cut within the first 50mi on my 80LS. This was WITHOUT the spacers you mention which would move the centerline of the wheel outward;
The tires were a bit 'fat' for the car, and with matching fronts became harder to steer - you had to be moving to make manual steering easier. Rolling the fenders rixed the clearance issues on the outside. For those interested, these are American Racing 14x6 wheels with centercaps. I don't recall the offset, but they were suitably wide compared to stock 13x5.5's on the 80LS above. (And I still have them in my garage...)

I bought these rims a month ago.
bbs replica. Lenso 15x7 +20
they have them undrilled so they did 4x110 for free.
tyres are 195x50x15 stock suspension, just lowered springs. ( heated and formed)
No rubbing at all.
