Definitely Rota RB's in above picture. Size , look like 15 x 7 or 7.5 .Offset +22 . Offset subject to what front struts are running on car, if standard 1600,180B or 200B then offset would be + 22 Best size to use again subject to struts and rear spring size , but i run 15 x 7 + 22 on one car , other car has 16 x 7 + 22. Tyre profile i think is 195 x 50 on 15" and 205 x 45 on 16" . 15" rims give better ride or smoother ride . Both would need rear inner guards rolled slightly just in case .

Thanks WNW-244.
That's awsum as i need +20 offset to clear my front brakes. Front struts are Datsports R31 with 300zx brakes.
Sweet thanks for that . Do you still get a nice dish with that positive offset?
Do you have any pics? and what brakes are you running up front?

Cheers

Hi jjjoe_510
Running 200B Maddat struts w/- RX7 S4-5 front calipers. Not sure on Datsport R31 struts , would assume they could be similar to 200B . Depends on rims you want and what offset is available in rims . You will need if similar to 200B +22min offset or +25. dish is reasonable . Look up Adelaie Datsun DAY 2014 Birdwood on here , towards the end you should find a red one with organge one in backdround. Red runs 16 x7 +22 205 X 45 Orange runs 15 X 7 +22 195 x50. Rears are R31 disc on both . Slight amount of work to shampher or roll inner guard on red on . Both run 200B front and R31 rears 240k rearsprings , same/similar height as 1600 but heavier springs
Hope this helps

I feel that rims need only be big enough to fit over your brakes, otherwise you're adding unnecessary weight.
Width however, means a much larger contact patch and cornering capabilities.
