A zero offset will have you pretty flush with the fender on a 15x8.

On my 86, I'm rocking 15x8 XXR's with a +0 offset and the sit perfectly flush. Im also running 195/50 Kumho Ecsta AST tires. Slight stretch, nothing major.

I am also interested in seeing your set up.

Wasnt there dedicated to wheels/tires? If not we should have one specifically for wheel fitment, specs on rim size and width and tire size.

This is a pretty neat thread on an Aussie 86/Corolla forum. (Not sure if we have one on here)

Gives a lot of good examples. Pretty much anything can fit with enough work.
