Will these rims fit my GSL

I have a 83 GSL. I am looking at a set of 14inch x 6.5 rims for my car, but they have a +10 offset. Right now the cars suspention is stock but I planed on lowering it about an inch using eibach springs. Will these rims fit stock or lowered? I was looking at using 205/60/14 tires. Will these work or is this going to be too big. If the rims will work what tires should I get. These will be my road wheels, but will the change in offset screw my handeling up a lot?Thanks

What is the bolt patter of the wheels that you are looking at? 14's shouldn't be a problem at all, especially since some people have larger sizes.

As for tires, someone else will have to speak up, my knowledge of tires is basic.

The bolt pattern is 4x110mm so that is not a problem. it is the offset that I am worried about. stock offset is 25mm I think and that will cause the rim to stick out an extra 28mm.

I have 205s on my car (on 13s) and the car is lowered. I would say you'd have rubbing issues if your wheels stuck out 28mm.
