max121 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 16x7 enkie 92s came off a 70s 280z measuring from the back side of the rim with straight edge to the hub/flange is 4" offset is 0? anyone ever put this size/offset on a 510 and what mods are needed I have the 280zx struts Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Those should fit perfect. 7" wide with 4" backspace is what I run. ZX struts will flush em out nice in the front, might have to roll the fender lips a little in the back. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 BTW those look like 14" not 16". I don't think you measure lip to lip, you measure where the tire bead seats. Right? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 For a 1985 gas tank out of a 300ZX, use a 300ZX sender unit. Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 For a 1985 gas tank out of a 300ZX, use a 300ZX sender unit. i am cutting the top out of this one to weld into my stock datsun 510 gas tank sry i didnt specify that i guess i could just use this tank instead Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Do i have to have my gas tank Tig welded? or can i just use my mig i would overlap the 300zx fuel pump flange on top of the 510 tank i wish i was at my old job i could use the tig there but i dont have access to one and ive been quoted 225 to have it welded by someone that makes the tanks to sell on ebay ive spent 125 for the tank and pump already Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 You don't HAVE to, it would just look better. Just make sure you get a good seal and FILL IT WITH WATER before you start. The more you can get in the better. When your done, turn it upside down for about an hour to check for leaks. Quote Link to comment
