I am looking to purchase 15x7 rota royal silver wheels for my 78 280..just wanting to know if anyone had any issues with center caps or clearence issues. Wanting to use 195/65/15 toyo tires..

Suspension is stock.. Any suggestions on offset... Thanks for any help..

Hi Scott, See my pm. 195-65/15s are too small. Your speedo will read fast and the tires will look small to you, also. They will look stretched on a 7" rim. A 215-60/15 will be almost the same diameter as the original 195-70/14s. I went with 205/60-15s due to valance clearance issues, and am happy with the results...my speedo reads a bit fast. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers, Mike

FWIW, I went with a 195-60/15 on my 15x7 Rewinds. I feel they do look a little stretched in width. When I buy new tires I'll probably go up a few sizes and get the clearance issues taken care of.

I do have some in 15x7 with ET04 on my lowered 240z.

I have 225/50-15 G-sport BFGoodridge tires. They fit. I only have 1/2" on each side of the tire of clearance between strut on one side and fender on the other...

No problem with center cap either

Not sure I agree with the stretched look but to each his own. 15x7 rim with

195/60/15's

Hello Scott,

I went with the 16x7 rim with 205/55/16's, I like the way they fill out the fender well and no problems with rub.

I have a set of Rota RB wheels on my 71. 15x7 +04 offset. 205/55/15 tires. No issues with center cap or rubbing. I also have tokico springs/struts and I haven't had any issues.
