Just got my Datsun home (new guy here)

Those wheels do not look to be entirely within the fenders, they look flush to the body side.

What do you have, about 1.5" travel before the tires contact the body?

As they should be. B)

 

Rears are actually about 1/8" inside the fender, fronts are flush.

Closer to 2" maybe. :rofl:

 

But the rear end is stiff enough that it doesn't hit unless you have an adult in the back seat.

 

 

The 14x7 -9 wheels were fairly flush too. Drove it every day like that. :thumbup:

Guys one last question regarding wheels. Will +0 16x8's fit?

[Vega]

Or will i have to swap the struts?

[ggzilla]

16x8 wheels will fit if they are the certain offset maybe +30. Or less offset if you want them flush or poking out.

 

But the big question is ... will the tires fit? 205s are a good size.

Doubtful. Stretch a 195/45-16 on it and that changes to a maybe, with a serious fender roll/pull.
