Found these for sale and i believe they would fit my roadster but i wanted someone to confirm before i drive two hours to get them. See the link for the posting which lists the wheel and tire size. Thanks for any information.

0 offset is a concern, and you have a thin front fender flare if it's a '66. On stock suspension it should "fit"

Bring a jack and Just test fit the wheels

I'm always hesitant to say wheels will fit well on other roadsters...clearances seem all over the board. For example, I had 15x6 +10 on 195/50/15 tires and they rubbed badly in back.

rubbed on the inner of the body or the quarter panel
my 14x6.5 0 offset work perfect, my friend has the same wheels 14x6.5 +15 and they also work perfect. So yes sometime we just need to try the wheels on the car. If someone asked me if 15x6 +10 would work ? I would say yes but after the info you just provided I would rephrase my answer.

Shant they rubbed on the outside lip of the rear fender. I had comp springs. These wheels are now on Dan's 67 2000 and do not rub as far as I know on his car...so no 2 roadsters are alike is what I've learned!

I bought these wheels. Close in back but didn't rub. Had to space fronts out 2MM to keep back facefrom rubbing caliper. I thought they stuck out too a little too much for my taste. Will work though. I cleaned and polished them a little. Willing to sell $200 if someone wants to give them a try. I have a 67.
