I can't for the life of me think of why they wouldn't fit Not only that the person I bought them from had them on a 96 GS..?

Yes they do fit I have a GS with the GSX rims and sad to say I bought them with the hopes that they would not leak. Boy was I praying up the wrong tree!
They do fit flush, they do look good BUT don't handle in the curves like the 16 could and I can feel the sidewalls cannot handle the extra hight and or load, they do give a better top end at high speeds on a straight-a-way however as I said they leak air over time because they warp over time.
I saw mines on a roller and I can see a warble in them, however the warblers don't leak don't know if the two in the back warble but one does leak.
My guess is the only reason ya brakes screem is ya need to get ya rotors turned.
