@mossy what break setup are you running?. Im running R33 Calipers and the wheel is clipping the nissan badge. Im running 15 x 8 zero offset front and rears. 

Not sure if Dave had this issue @KatoKid

I'm running Rota RBX, 16x8 -4 and no issues. My caliper setup is unique and I was careful to ensure the caliper/disc was as far inboard as possible.

Thanks Dave. I need to shave the Nissan logo off the rear calipers so there is clearance. A little annoying as I had the calipers powder coated

14inch watanabes look alright too with stock suspension and they fit nicely without having to roll the lips. Really happy with the feel on the road.

14x7J+3 A-type (front) / 14x7.5J+1.5 B-type (rear) and 195/65R14 (Dunlop LM704) tyres all around.

Hi, new to the board.  just bought a 73 Z.  Wanted to get new wheels and shoes and really like the "mossy" look.  What size tire are  you running on the 15X8?  Did you have to roll the fenders at all?  Im trying to get this car running, hasnt been run in years, has triple webers on it right now.  Any suggestions on upgrades?  thanks Bob

I have similar wheel specs on my car and I run 225/50R15. Stock front guards and gently rolled (i.e. lips rolled flat) rear arches. The first tyres I had on the car (Toyo T1R) fit without scrubbing but I was getting terrible scrub and cutting sidewalls with R888s.
