jovial_cynic Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 So, here's a shot of my 510: I'm not really feeling it on the wheels of my car -- they seem a little small. I don't know much about wheels and tire combinations, but I know that my tires say "R185/70R13", which means that I've got 13" wheels, 185mm wide tires, and a 70 height:width ratio. So, can somebody point me to 510s with other size wheels, with an idea of what I'm looking at to make a comparison? I plan to do a little shopping and need to know what to look for...

Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Personally i think 510's look best w/ 13 inch rims. You can run a 185-60-13 which will have a smaller sidewall or even a 175-50-13 which is a very small sidewall... my wagon w 14x6 ZX rims & a 185-60-14 tire... 13x5 rim & a 175-70-13 tire... & a 13x7 rim w/ a 185-60-13 tire...

WagDatto Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 So are the oil stains it leaves all over the driveway... LOL! As far as the wheels, if you go with a thinner tire with less sidewall, it won't make them look so small. The wheels will look a hint larger and probably make the whole car look a little better too! Anything from a 13 to a 15 looks awesome on a 510, I think anything bigger is pushing it a bit too much, I like the retro-ish look to the wheel setup on an old Datsun. Quote Link to comment

jovial_cynic Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 datto510 would like to have those wheels!!!!!! Yeah? Isn't he the one that got those really nice shiny wheels? What are these wheels worth, anyway? If I sell/trade them out, I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off. Quote Link to comment
