For those with Fender Flares... What size wheels/tires did you go with? Pictures would be appreciated, I hope I dont get flamed but I tried searching and didnt come up with any.

Figure out what flares you're wanting first. These old IMSA flares will fit a 14" wide wheel.

A simple roll and I run 245/45/16 on 8-inch rims - street. With CP flares we run 10-inch wheels with 275 Hoosiers - race car.

Lots of mods to accept bigger wheels. Struts/springs/hubs/camber plates/:)...

I have 12" wid X 15" BBS RS's and just picked up some Classic Datsun ZG flares from Kijiji I'll post here when I am at trial fit stage. If no fit then Z force productions will be the next step.

Nice looking ride!

Those tires with those flares don't necessarily warrant all your listed mods. Those offsets and tire sizes should work with stock springs and shocks.

No photos. I'm running Kameari standard sized flares. Front volk TE37V 15x9 -15, rear 15x10 -25

Everytime I see your Z it's more impressive - great job and labor of love!
