Got my new wheels yesterday and had my tires mounted looks like I will have to machine the front hubs right now the rim hub is rocking on the bearing hub I don't want to use a spacer.
Front Spring are Mike Young Comp's I hope they settle down "Zero Miles"
Wheels Rota 16X7 large cap (Datsun) Paid ($595.00)
Color Hyper Black
Off Set +10
Size 195/45/16 (Cost $506.00 mounting and TAX)
Tires Yokohama S.drive
None of my fenders are rolled
I love they way they look, I was thinking about 205's for rear but its so close on one side and don't want to be moving the body to even it out.

Looks great! Are the front springs seated all the way?

I sure think so, I will need to pull the hubs apart to get them machined I will double check I also hope the comp spring will settle down.

I have the same tire and wheel package on my 70 spl except i have 15 inch rims . I had to grind a little bit of the hub were it meet the flat flange the weld is a little uneven there so i took a die grinder and smoothed it out a little untill they would slide against . You will really like those yokohamas they handle great and ride really smooth . Your car looks great ,good luck

Are you running 205 on rear ?

I think the 45-series is giving you the increased wheel gap all around, more pronounced up front. A 50-series would have filled it up nicely. +10 with 205s is a gamble especially in the back like you mentioned.
Another option would be to run Dean's Super Comp springs

Did you have to do anything to get the 7 inches wheels to fit in the rear?

From what I've seen +10 offset works on most rears with 7inch. For a 15 inch tire up to a 195/60/15 fits with slight rubbing on +10. So 16 inch wheels with 45 profile tires should be fine. Again 15 inches as a medium size +10-+18 fit for 7inch wide with a 60 series tire as max.

I don't think +10 on a 7" are the ticket for 195/50 x 15....+12 needs to be rolled on some cars.

I am considering these. Obviously, I will can and will have to get different tires.
Rear: 15x7 +19 Falken Ziex 205/50
Front: 15x6.5 +19 Falken Ziex 195/50
