Default Difference between 2003 style si rims off a 2003 civic ex and the original 2000 si rims

I have a 94 Integra LS. It came with 195-60-14 (23.22 inch diameter) tires & rim combo. I’ve swapped the rims for 205-40-17 (23.46 inch diameter) and also lowered the car with neuspeed sport spring (1.75f/1.5r inch drop) and kyb adjustable. I now want to go back to stock. I got my hands on 2003 si style rims, which came off a 2003 civic ex. The tires & rims combo is 185-65-15 (24.46 inch diameter.) Original Si rims off a 2000 Si came with 195-55-15 (23.44 inch diameter) tires & rims combo.

My question is:

1. Will 2003 si rims fit without rubbing? By looking at it, it is real close? Is the bolt pattern the same?

2. Are the si rims off a 2003 ex the same rims off a 2000 si? If so does that mean I could change the tire size from 185-65 to 195-50.

3. I would like to know also if the si rims and gsr rims are the same bolt pattern? I have gsr rims with 195-50-15 (22.68 inch diameter) tires and rims combo

4. Can the gsr rims fit my ls. I went to a mechanic that fixes only Honda and Acura cars and he said I should just find the original 14 inch rims cause the gsr rims and si rims won’t fit?

I’m puzzled. Enlighten me please.

i believe the 2003 EX wheels and the 99-00 Si wheels are identical, just diffrent tires. also, any civic wheel and integra wheel are interchangeable with the exception of the Type R. That "honda SPecialist" mechanic doesntknow much. GSR, Si, EX, etc wheels are all 4x100. All 3 wheels will fit your LS.

I think the 99-00 Si rims are an option that you can get for your car, and they are the same wheels. I THINK the main thing that matters is that they are 4 lug...

They are the same but with different tires. The centercap H looks a little bit different also

tires are differant and the H dosn't have the line aournd it is just an H in the centercap of new new ones. IMO i like the optional Si wheels with the Red H centercap i want to get my hands on some of those.

2002-2003 Si = 4-lug
2004 Si = 5-lug

He's referring to the 2003 EX wheels that look like 99-00 Si wheels. Don't get confused by his titled.
