Tristin Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 See... Told you you shouldnt worry until you actually checked to see what size they were. Those should fit fine. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ok, test fit is good! Fronts are perfect, rears...some concern...though I could be over reacting... Seems like a lot of "poke". Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Okay FINALLY found the damn tape-measure! 13x7 +6 Sweet! Sounds absolutely PERFECT. Sumitomo HTR200 195 60 13 callin my name! Got a source? Used to get them from Tire rack but they stopped carrying them. Only seem to be able to get the 185/60-13s now... Ok, test fit is good! Fronts are perfect, rears...some concern...though I could be over reacting... Seems like a lot of "poke". When you lower it a bit the negative camber will sort that out. B) Due to the arc of the control arm, it won't rub. I promise. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Oh, and if you haven't already rolled the rear fender lips, you'll need to. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Rolled lips? That was so 2006 lol Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Side note, there is one downside to a 195/60-13 or 185/60-13. Not very tall. About 1" smaller overall diameter than stock. Might need to lower the car more than you normally would to get the right look. B) And the speedo will be a bit off, shows higher than you really are going. My math says an indicated 60mph would be about 57mph. Upside? Basically changes your rear end ratio from the stock 3.90 to maybe 4:11? :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hmm, so a 70 series might be in order... So what are these made of? Stupid light, are they very durable??? Looks like cast center with some form of aluminum barrel. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hmm, so a 70 series might be in order... Not as gangster. B) So what are these made of? Stupid light, are they very durable??? Looks like cast center with some form of aluminum barrel. Exactly. Cast aluminum center, spun aluminum barrel. The spun barrel is what makes them so light. :thumbup: Made as a 3pc, but then both halves of the barrels are welded together at the factory, usually with the face captured in between effectively making it a 1pc wheel. "Durable" is a tough call. Downside to the spun barrel is they won't take a hit without bending. Potholes should be fine, but don't curb one very hard. Good thing you have 6. ;) Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 2 of which have some harsh rash... and dents lol Quote Link to comment

Radim Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Looks and sound perfect to me, remember your suspension geometry changes with weight load/suspension travel, so your wheels will tuck slightly in a little bit more. But if you're doing a slight stretch that looks absolutely near damn perfect, as for the bead situations the bead is there, you'll be safe. Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 New wheels are purdy Cody :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 This should really come down to; fit wheels to 510. Or fit wheels to different car. Either way these wheels point to directly to pussy/butthole getting (whichever your preference). Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 You should just give them to me. It will save you all this thread starting/keeping-up-with fuss. Life will be much simpler. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 sure let me just melt them down into a cube that way they take up less space in a UPS truck first Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 there will be no melting down of old school rims tolerated here Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 "was just gonna haul em off for scrap" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 No need to melt them down. I'll love em just the way they are :) 1 Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Son of a BITHURBGFFbgr So they are 14x7+6... Verified with a measuring tape around the circumfrence and compared to the ZX wheel in the pic (bottom) 44 inches around both. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Son of a BITHURBGFFbgr So they are 14x7+6... That's a good thing! It opens up a lot more tire (and brake) options. So now you want either a 185/55-14 for super low or 185/60-14 for kinda low. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Just did a test fit with an old burned up azenis in 195 60 14. Fits great! Quote Link to comment
