Na don't do flares.
Keep the original lines.
Ill get some measurements off mine tonight.
Are these rough measurements correct? Frm website
15x8 +20 rims
Backspace should be 134mm
Outer Lip 52mm
15x7 0
Backspace should be 101mm
Out lip 59 mm
From this you should be able to work out what you need.
Looking at those rims in the first photo. Whats the strut clearance, They look pretty close to me

That first wheel you pictured is the DTM Oldschool 15x8 20p. You can do a basically identical wheel through a seperate supplier, called the Takashi 15x7 20p. These will fit fine, you should be paying around $215-225 per rim for the Takashi..
Dish on the rear, and small lip on the fronts..

So you gotta space the 15inch wheels to clear the calipers?
Isnt it the case of either low offset wheels or 4pots?
Cant do both, I had to make the choice.

Hey man ive had quite a few different offset and sized mags on the car over the last few weeks and ive come to the conclusion that im going to make a set of coilover for the front out of some spare R30 struts as it seems that everyone who has top camber plates are tucking the wheel in enough to get them inside the guard then i will pick a wheel to suit. I am getting a set of 280Z struts this week to do some comparisons on against the 910 and the R30 so ill be able to let you know
