search the archives, there is loads of information on wheels/rims. Check spring clearance on the front as most will fit on the back pretty easy. A standard spacer will be needed just to avoid the brake screws. They are pretty cheap on ebay. 1/4" for a 4X110 bolt/lug pattern for the back worked for mine, but I have a GSL with rear disks. It took new longer lugs and 1/2" spacers for the front of mine, but mine are 17" low-pro...can't remember the width right off.

Post the specs on the wheels, width and backspacing. Backspacing should be about 4.25" for 205 tires to clear the front springs. Also post a pic of a wheel mounted front and rear. If the drum screws are holding the wheels away from sitting flush with the drum, remove the screws instead of using spacers. All the screws do is hold the drum in place, making it easier to thread in the lug bolts.
