Default Correct Wheel Size for early 491

I know the 1984-1985 491's were 7x15 and 8x15. Can I use an early wheel from the 1970's or will the offset be different? Specifically the part numbers are: 911.361.020.11 for the fronts and 911.361.020.12 for the rears.

Offsets are all the same for the 911 Fuchs.

That's what I thought. Was curious why so many people ask the question, "what is the date code on the wheels." That led me to believe there was a difference between the 70's wheels and the 80's version.

M491 uses 16 inchers. In 1984-1985, they were 16x7 and 16x8. Not all the offsets of Fuchs are the same.
