You'd need significant spacers, about 30mm in the front and 40mm in the rear.

Those numbers get you close to the factory offsets for 7's and 8's, but you'd still want to confirm with someone else who's fitted those wheels (for example, a little more offset in the front is helpful when fitting 7's)

But the short answer is a definite no on fitment.

thanks so much. Any idea what the original offsets were? I was figuring maybe 1 inch spacers all around

On a pre-89 car, they'd also look terrible.

On Carrera body cars where 7 & 8 were oem fitments, the front 7 used ET23.3 and the rear 8 used ET10.6
