fittment curiousity...

[Siqx20]

I have some 17" tsw kyalami's they are 8" wide i believe. and +20 something offset. think they will fit? I would like it if they would lol. I wont have the wheels and car in the same place for about a week prolly.

In the back yes.... they should fit,, might have to roll the fender lips a little,, but not a "pull" needed at all

 

.... for the front ... no .... .. maybe with 280zx struts and alot of camber/streched tires..... and at least 20mm spacers

 

 

Every Kayalami mesh wheel I've seen is higher than +35 offset ... .. then it would be a big NO both front and rear

 

..... if you're thinking cheap wheels to roll on and look good .... I'm not shure either of those is possible

 

 

 

They are going to look HUGE in the front and most likely will not fit even with spacers ..... and maybe not even fit in the back

 

 

This is a 16x8 +10 rubbing on a 280zx strut .... I would need at least 10-12mm spacers to drive: ... but then I'd need flares or pulled fenders

They rub on rolled flat rear fender lips ..... with 3" blocks and 300lbs of concrete in the back .... :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not shure there's enough room inside the rim .... .. these 16x7.5 +20's seem to fit,, never driven on them, just rolled:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing beats the look of 16's or smaller on a 710 goon: ..... . but they need to be un-driveably low to look right ... :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see even the 16x7 front wheels look too big in this pic:

15x7 +0 Drag DR20's FTW!!!:

 

 

 

 

They still rub on rolled fenders:

wow thanks so much for the info indy. and the sweet pics. I will throw them on and see but not get my hops up. which is to bad cause i like my TSW's. we will soo tho.

[Siqx20]

you seem to have quite the assortment of wheels. want to sell any that might fit? Im just trying to get rid of the steels on mine :P

[INDY510]

What do you want?? ... :lol: ..... . I was going to wait a few more months before I start selling off wheels

 

It's hard to sell cheap fake wheels,, especially when someday I might have another Datsun that would look awesome with them :rofl:

 

What are your plans for front struts/brakes???, it will change the wheel offsets you want ... I still don't know the "perfect" offset for 510's or 710's after ALOT of different wheels/tires/struts/camber/ride-height

I wish I had daylight pics,,, but I really liked how Phil's old 14" Enkei's looked: .. . 14x7 +5 rear 205/65/14

 

Front: 14x6 +18 195/60/14 . on 280zx struts(510 sprins/perches .. rolls without calipers,, Phil said I need spacers to drive on 280zx struts

What do u think is a good cheap upgrade for feont struts and brakes. Im new to the datsun car thing lol. I have been doing trucks this whole time haha

[Siqx20]

I do really like the look of those 16" RB style spokes. those are real purrrty. but u say u would need zx struts and spacers for the front eh?

[Siqx20]

Oh and i was wrong on my wheel specs. they are 17x7 with a +25 offset.

[Siqx20]

and i have 215/45 tires on them as of now

[INDY510]

.

They should fit in the back without any fender rolling . ... these cars are bigger than 510's so it might just work

 

if you install longer lug bolts on the stock 710 hubs .... the 17x7 +25 should fit with a 5mm spacer(maybe even no spacer) ... and smaller tires for the front

 

My 16x7 +0 front Panasports needed 280zx struts and no spacers .... I had 16x7 +22 on shortened 510 struts which fit perfect, and they fit on stock 710 struts with no spacers and 195/40/16 tires:

 

 

 

 

 

 

13x7 Mini-lites .... 205/60/13

 

[Siqx20]

I cant find 205/65 14's anywhere i liked how they looked on thay 14x7. Are y ou sure on the tire size indy? I checked tire rack and discount tire direct

[INDY510]

.

Woops,,, they are 205/60/14's ........ they look HUGE .... .. I'd only reccomend them for the back ..... 195 or 185's in the front would look good
