Arrow need help determining fitment of wheels and tires

Picking up a set of 16 inch BBS wheels off of a 99' Ford Crown Victoria and plan to mount a new set of Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Position's on them. The spec on the wheels are 16x7 and 16x8 with unknown offset from my knowledge they are 0 offset, about 4" backspacing. The tires are 225/50/16 52w front and 245/50/16 54y rear. The car is a 1991 Mazda RX7 FC3S. please help me determine wether they will fit or not, i'd greatly appreciate it

Here's a thread I turned up in the 2nd gen section about zero offset wheels: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/16x8-0-offset-911428/. There are others, but this seemed to cover it. They're going to stick way out, and probably require coilovers + excessive camber or fender rolling. Zero offset is FOUR cm further out than stock.
