I don't know if that offset will work, but 15x6 certainly will.

For an '01 GS-R, yes.
There are a lot of excellent winter tires on the market, and most are available in that size. They tend to break down into two groups:
a) tires that have the very best traction on snow and ice, but have so-so ride and handling on days when it's not so cold; examples include the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50, Dunlop Graspic DS-2, and Michelin X-Ice. (The Tire Rack calls these tires "studless ice and snow tires".)
b) tires that have good traction on snow and ice and in cold, although not quite as good as the previous group, but they also have very good ride and handling characteristics on days when it's not so cold; examples include the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 and the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2. (The Tire Rack calls these tires "performance winter tires".)
The choice between these two categories depends on the climate in your area, how much highway driving you do in the winter, how much you care about ultimate snow/ice grip versus ride comfort, whether you have another vehicle to use in the worst of winter, etc. Oh, and the tires in category (a) are usually significantly less expensive than category (b), which may be important. For example, I want the best snow/ice traction and I don't mind sacrificing some ride comfort and handling for those three months a year (mid-December to mid-March around here), and winter weather here in Chicago can be fairly nasty, so I have category (a) tires. But your priorities may be different, and you might be better off getting the category (b) tires.
Here are Tire Rack prices per tire for that size:
<u>Category (a) - Best Snow/Cold Performance</u>
Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 $88
Dunlop Graspic DS-2 $71
Michelin X-Ice $90
Pirelli Winter Carving $79
<u>Category (b) - Best Ride/Handling in Moderate Temps</u>
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 $113
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 $108
Pirelli Winter 210 SnowSport $83
