GSL-SE Wheel Offset Questions

Hello,

I'm looking at picking up some wheels for my GSL-SE (1985). Currently it's on the stock wheels with some pretty dry rotted All-Season tires in stock size. I'm looking for a 15x7" wheel, but I've been having some difficulty finding some solid information on what would be a proper, yet aggressive offset for use on a 15x7" wheel wearing a 205/50/15 tire. I've seen data that would suggest anywhere from about a +30 offset to a +15 offset. However I'm of the understanding that the GSL-SE rear end is wider and might require a slightly different offset. Is there any difference in the front of the GSL-SE to match the extra track width of the wider axle? None of the posts I've come across really say what axle is being used which leads to me scratching my head..

Before I plunk down the cash for the wheels and tires, I'd like to be certain they'd fit. Obviously ehh?

More or less, how well would a 15x7" +15 offset fit the GSL-SE while wearing a 205/50/15 tire?

Ok.. How about this..

How much wider is the GSL-SE rear end vs the "regular" RX-7's?
