Will these fit a 1966 Datsun Roadster 1600? I did searched, just want to more inputs. These wheels were fitted on a Datsun 510 but I'm not sure they will fot on a 1966 Roadster 1600. Thanks.

Nope. They won't clear the brake calipers being 13"...

Thanks for the quick replied. Is there an option to try to make the wheel fit by grinding down the caliper to make spme clearance?

A racer put 13 inch wheels on his car. He did it by cutting down the rotors and then slotting the caliper mounting holes - he also spaced the wheels VERY far outboard. I personally would not do it. I would buy the correct wheels. Cheaper, easier and safer in the long run.

IIRC 510 wheels are usually 0 offset in 6 in. They fit on the rear if the offset is closer to 0.
IMHO Too much trouble to fit on the front.
