I thought ifbu were looking for awesome fitment for an 8inch wheel it'd have to be zero offset for a nice fitment?

Good chance it wont fit with that much backspacing, wheel/tire will probably hit the spring/strut. It MAY work on factory spring/strut, but will not on a set of coilovers.

16x8 +0 offset requires a lot of camber to get them inside the fenders.

16x8 +42 would look ok with an inch spacer.

Remember, how wheels will look and fit on your car also depends on your ride height and the tire size you plan to run.
