Will these fit?

Will these fit with out any modification or wheel adapter, and what tire size would look nice on a stock setup. I'm thinking a 205/50/15 on the back and 195/50/15 on the front. Its a gslse. Thanks guys.

It should fit fine. It may rub under full lock like 84stock's

"edit"

If i would get a set of drag's it would be these. mmmmm 0 offset.

is the offset different between a stock gs and a gsl se? i have a 82 and am looking to run 17s and have the same look as u 84stock. im gonna change my bolt pattern with wheel adapters and they call for a offset of +20. the wheels adapters are 15mm. so that means i should go with +35 offset right? for a 205-40 r17 and maybe a 225 on the back?

I believe the offset between the GSL-SE and the other models are different. I believe they covered that in the 1st gen fact thread. search around.

4x114.3 is what you'd want.

For sizing on an SE I'd go with either 205/50/15 or 205/55/15 all around

205/55/15 is closer to the stock diameter on an SE

I'm running 205/55 on the front and 225/50 on the rear. I have a +32 offset so I'm sticking out 8mm more than you would, but I don't see inside clearance being an issue since the stock wheels are 205 and +40 offset.

Looks great!!!

I was gonna go with 16" but I couldn't pass up the deal on my rims & tires. They were used for 3 months, then the owner put his winters on and the car got smashed. The whole set including tuner nuts were only $800 and the gold goes so well with the gold pearl in my paint.

next comes the wet sanding and pin striping...
