jesusno2 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 ya want the easy way??? take a angle gringer to the hubs and grind the nubs until the wheel sits flat on the hub. its not pretty but it works the lugnuts center the wheel just fine. Ive done this on my 720 and I drive that truck everyday rain or shine even up the I-5 freeway works great no vibes at all Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 why would ya want spacers? titans barley fit to begin with i have titans on my 720 and they rub stock height! Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 ahh thnx bleach i tried looking for a video and didnt find shit!! and u know where to get wheels spacers? I got my spacers from Summit , I got 4 1/4in. But if you use them you will need longer studs too. But Summit has them too I got ARP studs that are 3in long but they don't fit right in I had to drill the hole to fit the knurl so they can grab. I have the rears on if you use the spacer you don't need to router them. Quote Link to comment
The datsun kid Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 thanks sycloned i think i might just do the spacers and longer studs routering them seems like a bitch!!!! i gotta come check out ur truck sometime bro! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 On a 620 a stock height. 1/4" spacers and no rubbing. They do rub on the strut rod on a lowered 620 at full crank. Quote Link to comment

They do rub on the strut rod on a lowered 620 at full crank. What size tire you running in front, I have 245/40/18 in rear and not sure on a front size yet its between 235 or 225/40/18. I just don't want the front tire smaller than the rim. How many threads do you have when I put the rears on with the 1/4in spacer there were about 2 turn till it got tight,so I got the longer studs.

wildmaninid Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I put the titan 18" wheels on my 620 I had to mod the dustcaps and add 1/4" spacers. I have it dropped 3"with blocks and a leaf out of the pack and short arse bumpstops, and the torsions down as far as I could (with 1/2 trimmed bumpstops) and still have some sort of right-ish alignment and I only rub 2 ways. 1: at full lock (not even that bad) 2: when I am about 3/4 lock and hit a big dip in the ground, usually happens going in my driveway too fast, actually it only happens in my driveway. FYI. I have ran 1/4" spacers on every datsun pickup I have ever owned and have never put longer studs in. I always check my torque often and inspect the stud threads. 16 years and never a problem, and let me tell you I use my mini trucks hard around the ranch and at work. In fact I just hauled 6 school bus tires and wheels up to schwabs today inmy 620 and they are easy 100lbs each..........should've had a picture. Have fun boyz n girlz. Bill Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I dont know about these other guys but I ran 225/45/18 Quote Link to comment

Bill Yeah, my tires were stupid expensive. But I love them and they were as close in diameter to the ones I originally had on as can be. Yeah, hate away. My truck hasn't moved in like 3 years. My tires are probably shot and every joint on that damn truck needs help. Oh and the pic in my sig is what I was doing on the 5 with them on. I ground down my hubs with a grinder. Yeah, ghetto, but it worked. If there is some shaking I didn't notice... but that may be because my suspension and linkage is all busted. Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 "back when a joint was a bad place to be", i think he was talking about bad ball joints. HA. Its ok 3 years aint bad, I bought a 75 620 about 9 years ago, sitting in the woods up by canada. Had only 39k original miles, but hadnt been cranked over in 17 years. I gave the guy a 50 spot for it, put 3 gallons of gas in the tank, a battery in the hole and 4 squirts of carb cleaner and drove it away..........datsuns will live forever! Quote Link to comment

You have obviously never heard the story of my Datsun. Another time, another place, I will type it all out. So besides price, any other reason you with with 235/40/18? Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 seems to be a few sizs tha were close. I was most concerned with not rubbing over any sort of worry about tire heigth issues, and yes cost came into it bigtime, as i am certainly on a budget, but no complaints here! Quote Link to comment

I am running 225/40 R18 all the way around. I had full thread engagement on the stock lug nuts. The studs did not extend out of the nuts though, if that makes any sense. I have run these wheels like this on 2 different 620's and never had a problem with loose lugs or wheels. Not sure if the 520/521 lugs are different. Quote Link to comment
72nismo Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just a thought but if I remember right I had a friend with a Datsun truck that put Chevy Tahoe wheels on it. I don't remember any issues with his set up. In case anybody looking for different wheels. Quote Link to comment
