Shouldn't be a problem provided you correctly size the tire you're running. The 122 had a 25mm offset wheel and was somewhat skinnier than 6 1/2". 35mm offset will move the mounting surface of the wheel 10mm inboard. Well, actually it moves the wheel 10mm inboard so actually moves the mounting surface 10mm outboard. From what I can see on my 122 is there seems to be a lot of room to play with. I've just bolted up some 17X7 wheels with 42mm offset with 215/45/17 rubber to my 122. As is they rub (at the front) the big IPD swaybar on full lock. They do not rub that the rear on opposite lock. I'm having 20mm spacers made up to correct the offset so rubbing won't be an issue.

With the 235/75/15 tires that those cars had, you'll have all kinds of problems though...
