0 offset

I've been reading wheel offset and back spacing write ups all morning. Most have been about, can you fit 17-19 +45 wheels on a car. My question is, can you run 15x7 wheels with 0 offset. They have 4" backspacing. Short of finding or buying the wheel and trying it, I'm not sure where to look. The car is an 87 GXL.

It's going to stick out like crazy and look like daytons from the 90's. Factory wheels where all negative offset.

Edit: I meant positive.

so an aggressive track fitment is a 17x9 + 25

a 15x7 +0 would stick out and inch further, but it has an inch less wheel on both sides.

it should be fine, but make sure you have coilovers with camber plates to get enough camber to fit it.
