You'll need to tell us what struts/brakes it has and what the offset/backspace of the wheel is?

Not without modifying the body. 6" wide wheels are the limit.

Well, if you narrower tires on it might fit under the fenders. Say 205/50R16 tires. And spacers, depending on the wheel offset.

Don't buy the wheels without a trial fit...

Do you want a guarantee? Maybe you can fit 6.5" wide wheels, maybe you can't.

Stock ute wheels are 4" wide.

It's the same here. You probably have a better selection in Tasmania.

Take a look at datsun1200.com Wheels.

wit a stock body there is not a chance of fitting 16x6.5s and hbeing able to turn. you cant fit 15x6s and not modify the body at all

but to make them fit at the front you just need to choose the right ride height and cut a bit of the front corner of the front guard out

with the right offset and ride height they will also fit on the back
