Radim Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just run a small spacer to run those other wheels, looks like 3-5MM should do. Red Blazer wheels 195/50/15s, Baby Moon caps and White Walls on that 521 would look UHMAYZING. ..... or...... I may be able to aid in importing some of those crazy Japanese wheels.... or.... build a custom set of wheels? :) Quote Link to comment

darrel Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 '70 through '73 240z wheel. The '74 model year 260z used the same wheel but had a Z in the center. I like it, dressy and comfortable. I have zx wheels in both my 710s because of this. The wheel is definitely not a 70-73 wheel. They only used the phenolic resin wheel, some had the indents cut out, some just had the indents on the spokes. The 280z used the wrapped/foam wheel. Not sure what the 260 used. The center cap on the 280z steering wheel would twist off instead of pop off as on the 240z steering wheel. Oh yeah, truck look better with the wheel covers off. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 How about making the lowering block a tad shorter? instead of 3" switch to 2 1/2" that would cure the rub and you could use the other rims you wanted. Quote Link to comment

I don't want to switch them. I am going to be slamming it more so that will not help me any. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 looks like a 74 260 they had foam and I think they said datsun then switched to z 70 to 73 smaller center cap push on that said datsun also only the wood wheels as far as I know Quote Link to comment

Oh yeah, truck look better with the wheel covers off. 70 to 73 wheels and smaller push on center cap off a 74 260 I parted out on a 75 I picked up on another 75 havent located the horn button in the stash of parts but looks like a push on horn which would be early style but I think solid indents and foam 74-75 not sure after that early inside horn button late inside horn button Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I stand totally corrected. Was looking on the wrong page of illustrations. Def. not the early Z car but '73 or later Quote Link to comment

Def. not the early Z car but '73 or later I was surprised to find an error in your post that never happens so I thought I would inform you but you already knew you just looked at the wrong page blah blah blah datsun thanks for all your knowledge mike you are always helpful Randy Quote Link to comment
Dat-girl Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks for letting me know guys. It was in the truck when I got it but it is comfortable, in good shape and the horn works. I am getting my new wheels and tires put on today. Will post pics when done. Quote Link to comment
Dat-girl Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Got my new shoes put on today. Here are the pics. I ended up going with 15x8 chevy rally wheels. I used 195/50/15 tires on them. Got an extra few inches of drop on the truck as well just by using these wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment

Dat-girl Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I tried many colors for the wheels with the factory color. Red is overused but it looked best with the green. Can't wait to get the truck painted. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 turn the torsion bar square nut out(release the jam nut) and dial it down. back looks good also already so you have room(travel) to haul stuff grease up the drive shaft grease nipple and the kingpins up front. Most people dont do this Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Truck looks wicked. Love the red/grey combo. I'd rock the shit outta that. Then I would go drive it. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm impressed with how straight and clean this truck is! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

It will not be grey for too long hopefully. I don't like that the bed and cab are two diff colors and they fact that it is a spray can paint job Quote Link to comment

Most people dont do this We plan on lowering it more in the front and the rear. I can go about 1inch all the way around so thats what I am going to do. Thanks for the info on greasing things.
