MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - 240Z Slotted Mags - Will they fit?

Has anyone fit a set of those aftermarket/dealer installed 14X6 slotted mags they used to put on 240Z's on a chrome bumper B? If so, did you encounter any problems? Thanks!

The 4 x 4.5 bolt pattern datsun wheels have "0" offset. I have run them on both CB and RB cars. You may have rubbing problems on either of them, but more so on the CB cars.

Scott, I have put these wheels on every car I can, thay look real good BUT thay have more offset & you have to put a wire wheel rear in (2" narrower) or the tires will rub. Ft. clear with 185-70x14

So, how much do these 240z rims weigh? About then same as Mini Lites?

Thanks everyone for your input.

Glenn, I have a wire wheel axle in the car and a disc wheel axle on the garage floor so I should be ok.

Scott, For competitionon my '79 (R/B) I run 240Z 14" x 51/2" rims with 195/60/14 Bridgestone Potenza Racing tyres, and they work fine without any rubbing.
