It’ll need some convincing but can fit
-2 camber up front and some rolling in the rear , tire size will be crucial

Enkei, (american racing as you posted), and Ultra Wheels all made an SSR MK1-like wheel. That is a flat face with no holes, and exposed mounting hardware:

Yes these dimensions are on the edge of "Safe" fitment, but it was more of an exercise in showing what's out there. On a stock suspension roadster 14x7 can "fit" :D Lowering and tire choice, as Jack mentioned will influence it.

Good to hear! These could be nice alternatives to the SSR wheel.

Ok got it.

The "centerline" style was very popular back in the day on our cars and others. So it shouldn't be a problem finding a set.

Enkei made a similar style, would this work for you?

High offset wheels don’t fit the Roadster
to fit these wheels at 6.5” wide and +38 you would need to run at least 20mm spacers which means replacement of the wheel studs
You could also run 25mm spacers with studs but quality made in North America spacers will run you a good 50-75$ each

You can easily make them fit.. About 3 degrees of camber in the front, and then use one of these in the back, it will clearance the rear fenders in no time..
