datsunaholic Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I used 195/50 R14 for my torsion-dropped (front only) 620, but not on stock wheels. A 195 tire is a bit wide for stock wheels at that aspect ratio. Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 before after not really positive how far down i went, but the nuts on the torsion are all the way to the end, and it cant go any lower with out longer bolts... and i am running 205/75/14 and thats only cuz thats what came with the truck but i will be going with like a 185/65/14 when these wear out, and then i will lower a few more inches... btw the rear is jus the main leaf spring, with the over load spring on top of the main under the axle and it rides great!! so does the front :) Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I run 195/75/14s on stock rims...they look great and fit great. Torsion bars down, bumpstops out in front, 3 inch blocks in, 2 leaves out in back. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Re-index'd torsions up front, 3 inch blocks & middle leaf removed, 205-70-14 tires, frame 1 inch from axle, tucking rear tires......... BtW this is my old 521''''''''' Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Deverratsun has the look Like he said 185/195 on a 75 series/14 tire on stock rim will fill up the wheel well good a 60series tire on a 14 inch rim is really going to wind up on the freeway driving.Lower the Gear ratio Quote Link to comment
oneslick720 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 185 60 14s that i have seen to look great i have a set to go on mine and there is a guy on here with blue extended cab 521 with them looks real nice Quote Link to comment

You can re-index your torsion bar arms and get more threads back. ;) Quote Link to comment
