dsigh Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 What size wheels are these? I'm leaning towards 17's... I love this truck. Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Im leaning twords 18"s Quote Link to comment
dsigh Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I meant for the pic, not my truck. Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I think the wheels in the pic are 18". I threw in the pic for reference. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Deff. not 16's, i agree w/ Fineline prob. 18's. im running 17's on my 620, rear bagg& front static w/ re-keyed torsions & at a full turn they rub just a bit on the wheel wells... Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I agree, they look like 18's. No pics of mine though... :D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Bleach i found that 1 pic i had of your old Z... :w00t: just kidding buddy. I dont have any pics of your 620 either :confused: Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 My 620 had 15's. My Frontier has Titans on it right now. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I say they're 17"...there are always points of reference in pictures (that's the enginerd in me) so I just used the headlights as the reference size in this case...take a look. The headlights are 5.75" so from the picture the wheel seemed to be at least 3 times as big but there was a little overlap on the bottom of the wheel and the top of it is hidden by the fender so I had to do a little guessing on final positioning but 3 x 5.75" = 17.25", so subtracting the slight overlap of that third size reference I can feel good about saying they're 17's...what do you guys think? ...and damnit Fineline now I wish I never sold my Titans!!!!

pope_face Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 71dimer: I like the idea of doing it that way, but if that's the case then I vote 18's as well... It makes sense in engineering where you use isometric drawings, but this includes perspective... as the wheels are further back then the headlights, they'd appear smaller. Therefore, 18's... At least we've sorted out that they're larger than 16's... Quote Link to comment

At least we've sorted out that they're larger than 16's... Yeah but we're only talking about 2-3 feet back at the most...definately not enough to make the difference you're thinking, now if I was trying to estimate the diameter by referencing the horizontal centerline I would be screwed due to the angled perspective of the wheel but since I was meauring the vertical centerline of the oval looking wheel I still stand by it. Also if it was the rear wheels I was referencing I would say you have a valid point. I would be willing to bet good $$$ (or a six pack) that they're 17's on it. :) Quote Link to comment
dsigh Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Wow. I'm very impressed with the amount of help! Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to getting my 620 and getting some pics up asap. -Devin Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 71dimer: I see what you mean... You might be right... But, it might be just enough of a difference to make up the extra inch, especially since you're missing a tiny bit of the top of the headlight and a little bit of the wheel where it's hidden behind the fender... I think the easiest way to figure it out (without actually asking) would be to check the height of the fender between the top of the wheelwell and the top of the fender, then compare it to a stock fender height... all that's left is to compare the fender to the wheel, and use the ratio. Then again... maybe I'm getting too into this wheel discussion... :D Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 They are 18's, nice idea 71dimer but the perspective of 2-3 feet makes up for 1 inch. The sidewalls are too low profile for 17's, they look like 35 profile. That truck is fu(king sick, so is fineline's Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Indy: Nice going... didn't think of that... Guess the mystery has been solved... :D Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 now I think they're 17's :D Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Man I need to paint my truck! Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I think that they are 18s, they fill up the wheel well pretty good. I run 17s on both of my 620s and I have static suspention, and I have no issues. It all comes down to how low you want to go and how much cutting up you want to do. I have seen 20s on 620s. but good luck tucking them with stock wheel wells... Quote Link to comment
dsigh Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Fineline's 18's look bigger than the red truck's wheels, to me anyway. I'd love to ask the guy, but he's in Japan and I no speaka Haponese. I think I'll go ahead and jump on some 17's, and probably regret it in a couple of months. Thanks again for everyone's help.
