Need some inputs about wheels fitments with fenders flares

Just got a 85 GSL and I'm looking for some wheels. Found a set of wheels that are 15x7 with a 32 offset. I will be runing ZG Fender flares and will also be using 1" adapter/spacers. This combo will be equivalent to a 8mm offset. Will this work?

I never deal with offset since it changes with wheel width. Backspacing is a constant and always has a limit. Stock Plus wheels have a backspacing of 4-1/2". If you want to play with offset, backspacing and width, try the following website.
