15x7 Wheels with 0 mm Offset?

[Lignum_00]

Since availability of wheels for the Datsun in Europe is super sparce, would it be possible to fit 15x7 wheels with 0 mm Offset on the Datsun Roadster?
I sadly cant find any 14x6 wheels that would work in Europe..

Late or early model?
Late it can fit but some car need rolling of the fender and it works better with smaller tires like 195/50/15

Early, sadly. 1967 Model.. Would it fit with 185's maybe?

Assuming early 67 not 67.5, the big problem is up front with the smaller fender flares, on my 67 I run 14x6 with an offset of +15 and already the tires a very flush with the fenders. going with a 0 would offset means the wheels is 15mm further out an a 7” wheel would push it out another 12.5mm so in summary a 15x7 ET0 is ~28mm more outside the fender so it will not fit without pulling the fenders even with a very small tire like a 185/50/15

Furthermore The width of the tire is only one pice of the puzzle, what many people dont realize is that a 185 tire on a 7” wheel is actually same final width and sometimes wider than a 195 tire on a 6” wheel
