Can I use et37 offset wheels on a 1987 Coupe GT?

Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 4.7mm
(0.185inch) LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 20.7mm (0.815inch)

Check out the wheel offset calculator.

Well, I've decided that I really like those 90Q 5 spoke S4 style wheels. But
someone pointed out that they have a et37 offset, and the stock Coupe GT
wheels have a et45 offset. The stock alloys for the CGT are 14" and these
are 15". So, will they work properly? Rubbing? Will they look goofy? How
will the offset change affect the looks of the wheels on the car? Tucked in
deeper, stick out more than stock?

TIA,
