If you are referring to me, you are WRONG.
I have 14" wheels with 195/60/14 tires

Yes I do have a late model engine, but you can't tell from the outside!

Only thing stopping me from 14 inch wheels is a possible spriso nissan brake swap somewhere down the line. But nothing bigger than 15x7 for me.

I have the volvo calipers which should be enough to make me happy. We'll see.

Hello Folks, thoughts I'd give you my 2 cents as I've just purchased some Rota RBs for my Roadster. FYI I have a 1969 2000 and personally went with the 16" wheel size and it looks nicer on the high screen profile - personal preference.

I got 16x7 with an offset of +15 and apart from having to machine the centre wheel hubs from 73mm > 76.5mm, the wheels sit really well - no rubbing. I'm running 195/50/16.

Hope this helps others who are interested in the Rota RB wheels
