Winter steelies

Looking for some cheap 16" winter wheels. Tirerack shows size 16X6.5 as compatible with this car. Is this correct? Will these fit all right?

No. The GT gets 16" Alloys (G Model in Japan), and the GTS gets the 17" wheels that are found on the FR-S & BRZ.

Yes, tirerack lets me pick from 16" and 17". You have to navigate to their winter package site first.
