Hey, got a 2-seater 1986 model and would simply like to know if a 14 inch wheel could be to small for the SWB models. It's a a rare wheel set so I'm almost convinced to do it.

It is a more "kyusha" wheel so I'm kinda convinced I could get away with it…

I just find it odd how cars like the Kenmeri KPGC110 Skylines can pull off 14 inch wheels all day, while Z31's can't.

Like the Z31 is smaller all around. It has a shorter wheelbase, height, width, and overall length over a KPGC110.

It could, with the right ones, you just don't hardly see them.

Maybe with some overflares that fill up the wheel arch gap, without having to go with days long sidewall.
