Ive seen a few coupes on this site with 7th gen. gt-s alloy wheels on their cars. Does this just bolt on, or does it mess with the spedo accuracy, and does it fit into the wheelwell without rubbing?

Overall diameter of the 2 tire sizes listed here is the same, no speedo difference, the GT-S rims are slightly narrower 16x6.5 as opposed to the 6th gen GT 15x7. Not a big deal. You can even use the 6th gen alloy wheel lug nuts if you dont get them with your GT-S wheels, they just stick out slightly more, the hex part is taller.
