Hi Everyone,
I'm looking at a set of the following wheels for my 67.5. I currently have MY springs up front and stock leafs in back. Hoping these are as simple as bolting them up, but figured I'd check before I drop the money and have any unforeseen issues.
Thoughts on these wheel sizes?

Thank you!

Re: Double checking wheel specs for before buying
+20 offset is "safe"
Make sure the center bore is at least 73mm in diameter to clear the front hubs!
ps I'd recommend running a 15" diameter wheel, this style (Work equip 03) looks great but I think 16" would look odd.
Example mounted on my roadster with 195/50/15 tires:

Re: Double checking wheel specs for before buying
I was torn, but with that pic I'm leaning towards your advice. I scoured the wheel pic thread you put together for HOURS, literally hours looking at styles, sizes, suspension, etc, and I'm having a hard time choosing between the two diameters, let alone the width and wheel.
If I go with a 15" I'm more than likely going with the Enkei92 since it's only made in a 15" diameter, but that'll probably change 72 more times before I buy something.
Thank you for clarifying and that pic, at least now I've narrowed it down to 2-3!

Re: Double checking wheel specs for before buying
Finding tires that will fit under the fenders in a 16 will be tough. Also, giant wheels (yes 16s are giant on a roadster) look goofy. Heck, 15s look goofy but there are no good 14 inch tires anymore. These cars drive better with smaller wheels as well.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Re: Double checking wheel specs for before buying
Thanks guys this is all very helpful! I'll stick with some 15's then.
I have a set of the appliance Mesh in 14", I may get those repaired and polished/coated and see if I can stick with those then.
