It'll fit like a glove.

I have the exact same size wheels, tires, and offset with my current gram lights.

Also your seedometer error is less than 1% with that size Approve!

ah nice one kenny, hopefully getting some JDM wheels tomorow,
the only difference between mine and yours is that i have the rear disc conversion on mine so my rear setup sits further in, may need to get some spacers on there

im sure your wheels were ET42 werent they?
then you added 20mm + 15mm spacers?

Could've sworn it said 45...

Just checked Rays website so I guess they are indeed 42.. huh. lol but yeah, with the spacers I'm running a total of about ET22-27.

But anyways, just wanna advise you to be sure to measure a couple of times to be sure you get the correct spacer. I feel like I could've gone 5mm more. Oh well. :/

I'm surprised at this talk of offset changing between disc and drum models, from what I've gathered here it is the same on both (as we got rear discs standard on all but the base models)

I have had 7,5Jx15 ET40, tire 195/50/15 and that was a really tight fit.. 3mm from shocks and need rolled rear fenders.

Now i have OEM Toyota 6Jx16 ET45, tire 195/45/16.. fit perfect on AE101 and dont need to roll fenders.

After E11 disc brake conversion on a AE101 hatchback its true that the rims are about 10mm more to inside!.
