Alvin, at 7" wide and zero offset, would he not have clearance issues?
It’ll need some convincing but can fit
-2 camber up front and some rolling in the rear , tire size will be crucial

ahgraphx,
Enkei, (american racing as you posted), and Ultra Wheels all made an SSR MK1-like wheel. That is a flat face with no holes, and exposed mounting hardware:

Yes these dimensions are on the edge of "Safe" fitment, but it was more of an exercise in showing what's out there. On a stock suspension roadster 14x7 can "fit" Lowering and tire choice, as Jack mentioned will influence it.

I like that style so I would be ok with replicas, my goal is 1-150 per wheel depending on shape they are in. I always liked the old school outlaw wheels but dont think I can get them in the size needed. thank you for the helpful post alvin
Ok got it.
The "centerline" style was very popular back in the day on our cars and others. So it shouldn't be a problem finding a set.
Enkei made a similar style, would this work for you?
What size do u think those are

High offset wheels don’t fit the Roadster
to fit these wheels at 6.5†wide and +38 you would need to run at least 20mm spacers which means replacement of the wheel studs
You could also run 25mm spacers with studs but quality made in North America spacers will run you a good 50-75$ each

You can easily make them fit.. About 3 degrees of camber in the front, and then use one of these in the back, it will clearance the rear fenders in no time..
But hey 50 years old car and 30 years old wheel chances are someone else had your idea
A guy in Lithuania send me this
lol
A guy in Lithuania sent you a picture of the Moreno Valley Datsun meet?

Hammer is much better.. It gets rid of bondo at the same time..
Lowering and tire choice, as Jack mentioned will influence it.
