Is anyone else running these wheels without flares?

Not these wheels, but here is a 15x7 +0 on 195/50/15
Front

Rear fenders rolled and 205s


15x7 +0 on my own roadster:



Every wheel is different with respect to spoke/caliper clearance, as is every roadster's fender clearance.

Off topic, Alvin what kinda of center caps are these on the black car, and where can I get a set?

No center caps

Sorry I meant the grease caps on the hub.

Oh sorry Jeff I should have read closer, duh! I tried looking and I can't find a vendor that has the grease caps.
Maybe posting in the parts wanted section?

I think the wheels look great. I'm not much for cutting on a car though but looks good

Alvin, I need a clarification. On pg 3 of this thread you show the silver car with 15x7-0 w/195 front then 205 on rear. Are all four wheels in 15x7-0 ? In the same post you mention up front that (Not these wheels) I'm confused, are those wheels in pics of different make? Or infact Rotas? I never expected any wheels in 15x7 with 0 offset to fit within our wheel confines. At minimum I've thought 10-12 offsets were needed. Please advise, thanks.

PS. Off course they will stick out past the wells on front, I realize this, but concerned of rear fenders.

Hey Tom,
That silver car has 15x7 ZERO offset all around. As far as I know, the 15x7 Konig Rewinds were made only in that offset. These are NOT Rotas!
The wheels pictured on my black roadster are the same wheels, Konig Rewinds.

The problem with telling folks things "fit" is that every roadster has different clearances. The fender hanging/lips/frame-to-body alignment all differ wildly.
For example, 15x6 +10 Panasports rubbed in back on my roadster (stock, nismo leaf suspension), but cleared handily on other roadsters....

Ah ha Ok got it. I do recall Konig in that size. Thanks

Ps Tom I forgot to mention if you look closely at the silver car the back fender lips have been cut/rolled...

Anyone have an update on these flares? How much modification from the 240Z flare is needed...about 2 inches on each end?
