How wide are the actual rims? I would bet that tire is oversize for the
width, if they really fit an unmodified Z.

I know at least one B with slot mags, locally, but I don't know what tire
size they are running. But that sounds awfully big to me. The car was
designed for 155mm wide tires, after all (or rather, the bias-ply inch
equivalent).
