Datsun Z wheels are set "further out" than MGB wheels. There is an
excellent source of info on 4x4.5" wheels at:
http://kmhafer.homestead.com/files/wheelFAQ.htm
Datsun Z wheels work fine with up to about a 175-70-14 tire. They just
don't quite work with 195-60-14s. I have a set of 280ZX wheels sitting
in my yard because they don't quite work with the wider tires, even
when I roll the fender lip under.
