15x7 0 offset ?

[punkzdriver]

Will a wheel that is 15x7 0 offset fit 67.5 1600? Looking to replace the set I currently have on the car, and want a 15" rim that will clear the 300zx calipers

The 15's I put on my car now need spacers to clear the front stock caliper.

15x7 will work only with a +12 through +18ish offset. 0 offset will require some fender rolling. The best tire size is 195/50 for 15's

what rim are your running now that needs a spacer

Im not too sure. I bought it off a Roadster owner on ebay. I forgot what they are called, but they kind of look like panasports. They are 15" x 5.5" wheels. I got them to replace the 14" wire wheels that came with the car when I bought it as I want to run the 300zx calipers eventually. When I took the wire wheels off, there were spacers on all 4 corners pushing the wheels out to a nice stance. But, there were spacers glued to other spacers...with lug nuts that threaded through the bore holes to catch the studs. I didnt feel to safe with this set up, so I removed most of the spacers. The rear wheels are now very narrow together...I was scared the car wouldnt get up a U-Haul car trailer. The fronts I still have some of the spacers on, but only because it seems they would hit the stock calipers.

I found a set of Enkei 92's for sale locally, that are 15x7 but 0 offset. From what I am reading, they wont fit either.

"fit" is a broad term. Why won't the enkei's clear the front calipers?

The Enkei's may clear the calipers...I havent bought them yet. But from what I am reading, with a 0 offset, they will be too far into the wheel arch. I havent read anywhere that a 0 offset wheel will "fit". My definition of a wheel "fitting" is it clears the calipers, and doesnt have the tire rubbing anywhere, without the use of spacers.

Both sets of wheels that I have now, the 14" wire wheels, and the 15" spoke wheels bought require the use of spacers, special lug nuts, and will rub 300zx calipers.

What do you think Alvin? 7" wide wheel with 0 offset. The owner hasnt gotten back to me with the measurement for backspacing.

I tried 16x7 0 offset Riken meshies and they cleared my calipers, so I agree on caliper clearance. I think a 195/50/15 or thinner tire would be needed to clear the front flare w/o rubbing especially if you are lowered. I doubt rears will fit cleanly. 15x7 0 offset is alot for the stock rear flare

I had some of those wheels (Panasports) and they definitely would not fit on a roadster.
