Watanabe Type B 14x6 wheels +20mm

Does anyone know if these would fit on a 1968 1600 without modifications? They come with 185/60R14 tires.

I think they might need some spacers. From what I've read, +12-15mm is ideal.

Might need spacer to clear the caliper, but the offset should be ok in 6" rim....they would have a lot of clearance with the fenders.....about 1" more

The inside of 6" +20 is the same as 7" +8......that's 4 mm more clearance on the inside than 7" +12
