Rota RKRs for my '72 240Z. Can I get away with 9" and anybody know the best place to buy them from SoCal?

After much looking, I think I want to find a set of Rota RKR wheels in 15". Thinking 8" is the right width for my slightly lowered (see photo) '72 240Z (unmodified fenders). I'd consider 9" if I was sure it wouldn't be too restrictive (rubbing, etc.).  Upgrading from the 14" mags that are on it now.

Anybody know the best place to buy these? I'm in SoCal if it matters.

Think about 16 x 7 with 205 55 16 tires.  Many more tire choices with the 16" dia wheels.

Without going to coilovers and rolling fender lips, you will run into rubbing going wider on the front.  You can do some research on HybridZ ro see whats involved to go go wider and staggered fitments.

I do realize that choices are more limited with 15" wheels. I prefer them because they look a little more period to me. I like to keep some sidewall on the tires. Don't want the ride to get harsher than it is now. But I could be convinced otherwise, probably.
