can 16x8 xxr 531 wheels fit on Datsun 510

[tepa510]

ive been working on my 72 sedan and ive seen the xxr wheels on ebay and i was wondering if the 16x8's fit on the 510 all around

Make some measurements on the car. You can use willtheyfit,com to calculate total dimensions with tire profile included and measure up on the car. I doubt you'll run into any problems. I'm pretty sure Indy510 has run 16's at some point.

i see 40 series tires in your future

Keep your wheels what you got.

A lot of IFs here... ^_^

 

IF you have 280ZX struts, and IF you have camber plates, and IF you get the +20 version and not the +0 version, and IF you haven't done any camber correction in the rear, and IF you don't mind stretching a 205/40-16 or 205/45-16 onto the 8" wheel, and IF your rear springs are fairly stiff, and IF your fender lips are rolled...

 

Yes, they'll fit. :cool:

 

I have run a 16x8 +30 with a 10mm spacer on all 4 corners with a 215/40-16. Rubbed a tiny bit in the rear. A 205 would've made it clear just fine.

i'd look for a better muffler before wheels. i could stick my head in that can

hey man i got all the IF's and can you post pics

[Boom death]

I'm running 15x8 and tire size are 195/55/15 stock suspension and only rubed in the rear till I rolled the fenders now no rub at all... But since u have coilovers they should fit just adjust ride height

That's a 16x8 +30 with a 10mm spacer and a 215/40-16 tire on the rear. The fronts are 16x7 +33 with 205/40-16 tire and a 15mm spacer, but I did test fit the rears on the front and they worked just fine with the 15mm spacer.

[datsunfreak]

Oddly enough, I'm giving serious thought to running the 531s in the 16x8 +20 with a 205/40-16 on that very car after it gets painted. Perhaps in the "platinum" finish?

 

Probably too "blingy" for most, but I dig it...

 

[tepa510]

 

do the 16x8 fit in the front and can it be flushed

Same here, but in the hyper silver.

Im not in to the chrome part maybe a brushed aluminum version.

I didnt know they made a +20 version.

 

Persoanlly I think they are one of the best looking of the cheaper wheels even if made in China

 

let us know if you get them.

website?

 

Datsunfreak also wouldnt a +20 hit the strut tube on a 280zx strut.?I think +15 is ok

My +25 Rota Rbs would hit a 280zx strut but OK on a 510 strut.

so I guess a specer would be needed.

Maybe go back and reread my post? ^_^

 

Yes (with the right offset) and yes. :thumbup:

 

Flush to the fender is the only way it "fits" to me. Will not abide poking out of the fender, and don't much care for the look of it tucked inside the fender. B)

www.nlmotoring.com seems to have the best prices. Ordered 3 sets of wheels from them so far.

Oh, totally. You'll have to have a 5mm spacer at least, maybe 10mm, in the front. Back should clear as is, but may need a 5mm spacer.

What offset & backspacing are those 15x8? I'm Looking at 15x8's but tring to figure out a 0 or +15 offset.

Thanks
