<VV> EM larger wheels

[Bryan Blackwell]

As with lates, the stock offset is 1".  Datsun Z wheels will work,  
they are pretty close to zero as I recall.  Whatever they are, 6"  
wide wheels spec'd for a Datsun work ok.

Since measuring offset is slightly tricky, I prefer backspace (which  
you just need a ruler and straightedge to do).  For a 6" wide wheel,  
minimum is 3 1/2", 4" is better.  205/55s will fit, BTW.
