Default Wheel fitment 3G Spyder - Can I put GT wheels on a GS?

Hey there -
Can anyone help me out. I've got an '01 GS Spyder that has 205/55 16s on her. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can put the wheels from a 3G GT on my car - they're 215/50 17. Will I have any issues with the wider and taller wheel?

Thanks.

nope your all set. And the bolt patterns should be identical as well.

only difference is the rim being an inch bigger and getting better tires

yea and i cant really see those differences being a big deal. the sidewall is a bit smaller too, so i dont think itll mess up the speed to a noticable extent

i think the only problem is if you jump more than one inch like on a truck or something.

sidewall is only smaller cause of the bigger rim.

Stock GS are 215\50\16 I think and GT are 215\45\17
