1984 Rims question

Hi
Im a newbie when it comes to FBs. Owner of an FD since 2002 though.
Anyways, I just bought an Fb and are looking for some nice wheels.
Not very easy though.
The Bolt pattern is 4x114.3 and i've found 8x16" rims with ET10. Will they fit?
But judging from stock rims im guessing they wont but i thought i'd check with the experts here

I've also found some nice BBS Lemans rims 7.5x17" with ET20, would have to drill new holes in the hubs since the rims bolt pattern is 4x100, Will these fit?

I hope these questions aint too ordinary. Have search alot about this but havent found a complete answer

Thanks in advance

The most common size is 15x7 +20. 205-50-15 tire. 15X8 seems to fit just fine too.

Be careful about going to big on FBs. They can start to look like a Hot Wheels Car with anything bigger than 15" or 16".
