Of course they did have 16x8 rims on practically the same car factory.

Yes, but if you run 255s in the rear without the 1/8" wheel spacers, you will rub on both sides on the inner fender. I used a hammer to fix the problem.

I'm using 16x8 wheels from a '88 GTA on my '84Z with 245-50VR16 tires and they fit perfectly (and look fine, too )
If you use aftermarket wheels, though, watch your offsets!
