These are the 15X8 +15 offset for your reference.

I would do it free of charge but in the good old USA, all non GSL-SE (my blue car) are 4X110 bolt pattern. The GSL-SE's are 4X114.3. These rims are dual pattern 4X114.3 and 4X100.

I could mock fit one since the 4x110 have studs rather than bolts. I will try to get to that this weekend and post pictures.

Thanks for the info HadaGSL-SE, I was planning on stretching 195/50 tyres on them so hopefully it works out ok and ill post a pic once i have bought them and fitted them at a later date. hopefully not much changes with an 79 sa22c model with the exception of the bolt pattern!:)

EDIT: I also just spied your sa22c in the background, would it be much of a hassle to test fit one of your 15x8 wheels on the front and take a photo for me??? i can even pay you $10 via bank transfer if you wish?

On non gsl-se models you can actually run a lower offset which is a good thing (fatter lip). A wheel that sticks out on an se might fit perfect on a non se :)

Ok I mock fitted the XXR 501 15X8 +15 on my stock 1979.

Doesn't look like it will fit well. Barely clears the strut tower and still would stick out of the fender. I jacked the car up took the wheel off then jacked up the suspension until it was supporting the weight of the car and had my friend hold the wheel flush to the hub. Here are the photos.

I would think that 20mm would be bringing it in further and it would contact the strut tower.

I am no wheel fitment expert. I bought these rims b/c I saw one other GSL-SE that had them and asked the guy if he had any issues.

sorry to threadjack but.......

I have 17 x 8 +35 front and 17 x 9 +35 rear going in my SA. they came off of a turboII and I am doing the 5 lug conversion. I am not worried about sticking out as much as rubbing on inside. anyone think I will rub? I am thinking 45-50 series tires.

RotaryRvn,
YES..my car is an original GSL-SE. I installed RE-Speed's big brake kit both Front and Rear (complete with Moser axles) with TII calipers and disc all around. The offset did NOT change with the conversion as everything still is pretty much in stock location. As stated, the rear wheels do stick out about 2mm but with stretched tires it is a good fit. The front fit fine with the setup on it now, they are flush with the fenders. All 4 fenders have been rolled for better clearance.

On another note... I had 0 offset Panasports that I tried on the car prior to my 5-lug conversion and they stick out past the fenders on a true GSL-SE. It has been discussed on here before and 0 offset's will NOT work on a GSL-SE. They will work on all other FB's.
