Here is my response to a question posted yesterday...I have the same wheel 
on my TR6

Todd Bermudez

I have 15X7 Zero offset Konigs on my TR6.  They won't present a problem on 
the back, BUT on the front you'll be lookin' at shaving a bit of material on 
the upper a-arms, as well as trimming down the outer a-arm bolt or buying a 
shorter bolt...and turning it around(that will require trial & 
error)...lastly, i went with 1/4" spacers...they're pretty cheap.  I got a 
set for $12.00 bucks.  Lastly, with the Konigs, I had to order a bolt that 
was was tapered AND had a 1/4" shank on the end to get an adequate amount of 
threads on the stud.  To me it was easier to buy different lugs(about a buck 
a piece) than to swap out the studs...just did that converting from wires.  
I don't know what kind of set up they have on the Panasports so you may not 
have to do that.

The bolt circle is right (more commonly called 4x4.5), but that doesn't mean
the wheels will fit.  7" is quite a bit wider than stock, and even the stock
TR6 wheels needed some offset to clear.  Also, Datsun uses a smaller center
circle than Triumph ... which may or may not be a problem with these wheels.
