    you might be best off finding anything you can on craigslist that catches your eye. most will come with tires too.

    if youre willing to roll your fenders (might even need to pull a little), then yes you can fit those 19's.

    how will 215/55/17 or 205/55/17 look on a 8'' wide? do you have any pics?

    I wanna fill my gap, the coilovers in the front are all the way down... If it ''fills'' the gap ill be able to run spacers for a flush look!

    would I have tire rub if I went to a 17X8.5 with a 255/50/r17? offset is 40 and bore diameter is 73? would that tire work with that rim or is there a different size tire that would fit better.

    cobra wheels?

    you're gonna need the fenders rolled for sure and maybe a little more camber, but really that'll help you with auto-x.

    Its either going to be Cobras or FR500s, If this guy sells them he's giving me an awesome deal on some FR500s. If he doesn't then I'll find some new Cobras.

    Read a few pages but not all

    What wheel spec options for 17" rims

    5x115
    17"
    Don't want to roll fenders
    Car will be lowered a bit

    Many of the RWD options are nice but I have no idea what specs are needed to fit a GP?

    Offset?
    Backspacing?

    offset is backspacing, just a different term.

    you'll probably want to stick to a +30mm or greater offset and 8" or less wide. that should be just fine for no fender work.

    Here's somthin' different. I took the rims off my '95 GP and slapped them on my '02. (cross lace design) Definately filled in the wheel wells. Also, because of the offset difference, gave my car a much wider stance. I'll post pics soon
