They will if and only if:

1) you have a gsl-se suspension swap (not hard)
2) they are "8 hole" honda wheels.

Otherwise, you would have to fill the holes and have a tire shop re-drill them to 4x110 w/ a +20mm offset

Yeah. I've never done the swap personally (i sold my gs and bought a gsl-se w/ 16" rims on it).

But they should bolt exactly up the same way. The GSL-SE has better handling suspension as well.

so if they are 8 hole they will bolt up with no mods to the wheelsor my suspension

That is incorrect!! In order to use wheels intend for a Honda on a first gen you NEED to have the GSL-SE suspension setup, either A) you buy a GSL-SE or B) you swap the -SE suspension on to your GS.

The "eight-hole" stuff IoTus is talking about is in reference to a dual bolt pattern wheel. 4x100 (for Civics) and 4x114.3 (for the Accord) both cars share the 40mm off set and the -SE suspension has the same deal. The acctual bolt pattern of the -SE "stuff" is 4x114.3.

I know you next question is "how hard" or mabey "how much" If you pay more than $300-$400 for the whole set-up you are getting ripped. The swap is supper easy and strait forward, assuming you have some apptitude for this stuff.

The front) You need to get everything under the fender from just above the ball-joint all the way to the strut top. Brake rotor, caliper, spindel yadda yadda

The rear) You need the WHOLE axle. The sway is the same the watts link is the same, the hydrolic brake line from the chasis to the axle is the same. You NEED the e-brake cables because the ones from your GS will not work. Since your GS is an '84 you can reuse your existing drive shaft.

Good luck

To use honda offset rims (+35 to +40mm offset) on a non gsl-se rx7 you wil need to swap susension or run spacers that adapt the lug pattern. Even if you where to redrill the hubs the rims would not fit without around an extra 1" of spacers. I have 17*7 +35mm offset rim on my rx7 using 1.5" thick adapters and in the front I have about 5.-.75" of clearance between the rim and the strut. With out the adpaters on the car the rim won't even fit flat against the hubs with out hitting.
