yeah 15x7with 0 offset will be hitting your strut when tires are on the rim..

im running 15x6+25 with 185x55 Yokohama

do you have flair's?? and what struts??

For optimum fitment with a 1200 with 7 wide at 15" for the front need an offset of +15-20 and then it will come down to ride height and what tires you put on for good fitment

With stock 1200 suspension at stock ride height
estimated to clear inner fender lip and coil spring both
* MEASURE to be sure
Tire size Offset
155/80R12 0 to +40
165/70R12 +5 to +35
165/55R12 +5 to +35
175/70R12 +10 to +30
175/70R13 +10 to +30
175/80R13 +10 to +30
185/60R13 +15 to +25
205/60R13 +10 to +20 will hit on turns

also check these out for a hand

measure it up get your struts and from the hub go 4inches both sides of the hub just to ensure spacing and tire width and see how much gap you would have if they were a zero offset and if they would by chance hit the strut itself.. then knowing that it clears the strut you need to see if that spacing will be inside the guard...

And if putting a coil-over setup how low are you wanting to go??

I have 200b struts with coilovers 296rotors and sns calipers from datsport the wheel's itself are in guard but on full lock at notch 1 on the coilovers the wheel will scrub on the front lowest point of the guard thus had to rubber mallet it back for clearance but if you are at full lock and going up and down drive ways it will scrub still on guard..

best thing to do is pump the guard or roll the inner lip in for that extra clearance..

next thing is do you have a mate or friend with like a old nissan (s13 chassis) or even a mate with a old 31 skyline see if you can borrow (even go to a wrecker and get one for $20) a spare wheel they are 4x114.3 6 wide with zero offset it will get you a guide on what you are looking at then you can judge tire size and if the offset needs to be diffferent

120Y struts fit exactly the same as 1200 struts

6" wide +0 offset fits on front but only narrow tyres will fit unless the fenders are flared. To fit under stock bodywork go with 6" +15 offset or 5" +0

S13 spare wheels are spacesavers, and the factory 15x6 alloys are more like +40

I had an R31 Skyline many years ago and also used the normal 14" Skyline steelies on my 1200 back in the mid 90s. They were 14x5.5" +30 from memory.
Silho's have a 15x6 spare, but they're also +30.

I tried to get mine as perfect as possible, but I do have 280zx struts in the front.

Front - 15x6.5 +16
Rear - 15x7 +15

This is for full travel without rubbing on lowered sedan, they still look pretty good, some more neg would look better but would rub.
