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.

I went with the following wheel/tire combination

Fronts are Watanabe 16X9 -13 offset, 4X114.3 lug. Tires are Mich Pilot Sport A/S plus 225/50ZR-16

Rear are Watanabe 16X9.5 -19 offset, 4X114.3 lug. Tires are Mich Pilot Sport A/S plus 245/50ZR-16

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.
