Question Need answers ASAP!! About GSR rims
Hey I've been looking for someone locally selling their GSR rims and I found someone but before I make an offer I want to make sure my tires can fit. I saw another thread about GSR rims but it didn't answer my question:

I have tires that are the same size as our stocks (215), will these be able to get stretched onto the GSR rims? Thanks

215 on an 8.5" width wheel, well im pretty sure its been done before many times. Personally I wouldnt go lower than a 225 on an 8.5" but thats me, i dont care much for the stretch scene.

Yeah if I didn't just buy these tires 10k miles ago, I would just get new ones. Should have went with 225s when I replaced my stocks...

For others looking for answer:
They will fit, but will have to be stretched quite a bit.

Or buy the rims, and wait until you need to replace your tires again :]

The amount of stretch is subjective. In the Evo world is pretty aggressive, everywhere else its a mild stretch.

Stundies, are the spokes a different color or is the light playing tricks? And how come there are no rear mud guards?

Maybe he thinks it's a FWD Ralliart :P (as far as there being no rear guards that is, hehe)

The centres are Bentley Titanium with Bentley Reflex Silver outers, just wanted to be different. I dont like rear mud flaps, I dont think it suits the car IMO.
