What Size Rims Can I Put On My `84 GS?

I dont mean like "can I put 18" rims on" I mean like the full mesurement. Width, bolt size, hight, stuff like that. I have no idea about rims. All I know is I have some old ugly Enkei rims (i think they are stock) they are too skiny for me. I want to go a little wider and more of a larger rim with a thinner low profile tire like Toyo. any help? Where could I read to find out my rim size?

Just go to a local dealer and ask them for advice on what will work for you.

I got 205/40/17 on mine...and there is a fair bit of room left....

Shoot, I've got the 83 LE rims (14"), and I'm happy... It's all you, man. As the other guy mentioned... go to a tire store and find out your options, and see what you like!

Well what is required for a GS is:
Bolt pattern: 4x110mm which is really hard to find
Offset: around 38mm
I think a good size is around 16" diameter and 7" wide. then you can put 205's on there with low profile 40 or 45 series tire. 16" wheels have different variety of tires from different brands available. Good luck

your best bet for a non-se rx-7 is to scope the classifieds around here and maybe try to find some limited edition wheels. they're 14" and they look very sharp.
