It is more entertaining than the latest crime drama or "Dancing with the Bachelorette Survivor."

Thanks Chuck. I think you guys gave me what I need. There is just no real way to do this. They just aren't going to fit up in the fenders without doing something that would break another rule some place...In the vintage series I am also limited to 7 inch and since this car was raced in the 70's I don't want to lose the ability to go vintage racing. On the right tire I could handle the modern cars with the old Z in NASA PTE, but not in vintage racer trim.

All of this headache is to try to be competitive under one sanctioning body and legal under the other.

I do track the car with NASA and a local vintage group. So zero offset on a 7 incher means 3.5 inch of backspace correct? If that is correct I would be putting the face of the rim .5 closer to the fender/quarter than your set up. (3 inches wider, 1.5 inch more each side, backspace increased 1 inch.) So sound to me like from your experience I would have to switch to coilovers, run a 5 inch backspace, and roll the fenders. I can't switch to coilovers for the vintage thing so I guess this idea is out.

I am looking to run 23.5x10x15 track rubber on the old Z, essentially 255/15s. I have a ton of wheel options but don't have samples to test fit so I am wondering if these will fit under the fenders with a minimum amount of "rolling" the arches. There are lots of 15x10s available at a 4.5 inch backspace. Searching here says that a 10 inch 4.5 backspace is ideal. Here's what I'm looking at: Wheels and Parts, Wheels from Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop Anyone have good info on what to do here?
