sorry man. but 14's are not going to fit the gsr's. u can make it fit by shaving some material off of the gsr's calipers, but i don't think u would want to do that.

what makes think that 14's won't fit gsr's? the stock wheels on an ls are 14's and they fit fine on them, and i've also seen them on gsr's

I threw 14 inch steelies on my sister's teg while I borrowed her Gsr rims for the weekend to see how they would look on my civic. She drove on those steelies with no prob. The Ls does come stock with 14's.

its hard to say, only some 14" wheel will clear the barkes, the only way to find out is to try them or take alot of measurements not always easy

what makes me think that 14's won't fit the gsr's? i've had a friend who ordered 14' rims and we ended up shaving some material off of the calipers. that's what "makes me think". steelies on the other hand....

I say you have a good chance of the 14" rims clearing the calipers. I was just shopping for some 13" rims and that's a bit harder (Only 3 rims I know of will fit).

I have a good feeling that they will fit too... but I just wanted to make double sure since I can't see or test fit the wheels in person first.... Can anyone give me a definitive answer, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

ligher, less rotating mass, better for track, cheaper tires
