Hi Joe, I just bought a set of Datsun Z wheels. They are the Turbine/Turbo
(?) style wheel. They have lots of narrow "spokes" and are dished shaped.
They are on my 1967 vintage race car which has been lowered and has a pan
hard rod. I am running 195 ZR60 X 14 tires. In order to eliminate rub I
had to "roll" the rear fender inner lip, and push the rear fenders out just
a "hair". The new flare on the fenders is barely noticeable.
So the short answer is, they don't fit unless you don't mind modifying your
body.
