datsunfreak Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I like the fronts, not really the rears, but this is what I want to do, if you can imagine the rears being the same as the fronts... 1 Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I like the fronts, not really the rears, but this is what I want to do, if you can imagine the rears being the same as the fronts... I can really dig it. The grille is almost exactly what I want on mine. Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 So what do you think it will take to get you there? The fronts look great there but I agree with Tim when it comes to stretching as far as those rears. I've been researching available 14s and found out that there aren't any decent choices for crappy 14x6s except for getting the 165/55 Federal FD1s from Ebay. With your 14x7s could you do 185/60s and get that look? There seem to be tons of those and 175/65s. Hell Discount Tire even carries those :P Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 So what do you think it will take to get you there? If I don't mind raising the car a tiny bit, some 14x8s with a 185/55-14. It would "look" the same as my current setup (14x7 with a 165/55-14), only 10mm taller. Quite frankly this car is so fucking low it's likely to be borderline undrivable if I keep it this way. But it sure does look cool... :rofl: I've been researching available 14s and found out that there aren't any decent choices for crappy 14x6s except for getting the 165/55 Federal FD1s from Ebay. Well, let me know if you want a brand new set for cheap. :P They would not be much of a stretch on a 14x6, and are a good size for a lowered 1200. With your 14x7s could you do 185/60s and get that look? There seem to be tons of those and 175/65s. Those are really too tall for my car. I'd never be happy with it sitting high enough to make those not rub. :hmm: Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 BTW, my current ride height is almost exactly where that other white car above is at. And you really need 20" tires to be that low. I suppose since those are 13s on that car, it would be more realistic to say this car below is more what I should do, if not exactly what I want to do. I am fairly sure these are 14x8s, and this car isn't nearly as low... Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 In fact, I finally just now found the specs on the car. It's a 14x8 -3 up front and 14x8 -12 in the rear... 3 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 And I'm betting his current setup is a 185/55-14 too... Link to comment

Why buy used when you can buy new with warranty? 205/60R14 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?skipOver=true&width=205%2F&ratio=60&diameter=14 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 He didn't say used. ;) Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yep, tons of eBay tire vendors that sell new with warrantys. Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yea, 165/55 and 155/55s are available new from Ebay. They are just 70+ per tire. I wouldn't want to run 205/60s. Datsunfreak I really love the stance of that second 1200. That looks more realistic for a DD on these hellish Georgia roads :P Either way you go this car will be amazing. I'm slowly falling out of love with the stretched look, but those aren't too bad. I'd like to see what those tires would look like on 14x7s. Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 13x8s in pink chrome? Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 They make a few other colors too... :rofl: Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Should get 4 different colors. Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Should get 4 different colors. Now there's an idea... :P Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 link to website for those rims Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 You can buy them from summit racing. I was going to pic up a set of the green chrome ones for the B210 but I just don't think I can pull it off :P Those black chrome would look tits on the 1200 and you could go moar lowar *hinthint* Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I am very tempted to by a 1200 I know of for sale just to mount a set of pink chrome rims on, just for the laugh riot that would ensue Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'd rock em. I'm at the moment trying to figure out what color I want to powder coat some wheels and Pink keeps coming to mind because my car is green, I just don't know if I'm manly enough for pink. Maybe if I start working out and grow a beard... and get a pet alligator... and always have an unexplainable black eye. 2 Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Looking at them again, that blue would look awesome with the white as well. So man choices! I definitely think Tim could use the pink ones for his hello kitty coupe though :rofl: 1 Link to comment
