Since availability of wheels for the Datsun in Europe is super sparce, would it be possible to fit 15x7 wheels with 0 mm Offset on the Datsun Roadster?
I sadly cant find any 14x6 wheels that would work in Europe..
15x7 Wheels with 0 mm Offset?

Late or early model?
Late it can fit but some car need rolling of the fender and it works better with smaller tires like 195/50/15

Re: 15x7 Wheels with 0 mm Offset?
Assuming early 67 not 67.5, the big problem is up front with the smaller fender flares, on my 67 I run 14x6 with an offset of +15 and already the tires a very flush with the fenders. going with a 0 would offset means the wheels is 15mm further out an a 7†wheel would push it out another 12.5mm so in summary a 15x7 ET0 is ~28mm more outside the fender so it will not fit without pulling the fenders even with a very small tire like a 185/50/15
Furthermore The width of the tire is only one pice of the puzzle, what many people dont realize is that a 185 tire on a 7†wheel is actually same final width and sometimes wider than a 195 tire on a 6†wheel
