Lonestar Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yer car is looking better and better with each update Yoto1515, I'm working hard on mine and hope to have my struts in mine within the next two weeks. Once done I'll snap pic and show off it's new stance with 280zx struts in place. 1 Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 What is the difference betwine the 280zx struts and the factory 210 ones buddy, if you dont mind! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Zx struts are shorter and fitted with vented disc rotors, and have larger diameter coils. But most importantly the hubs are narrower, so make the 210 front track same as the rear. They are the same otherwise, bolt the same top & bottom so same camber tops bolt on 1 Quote Link to comment

floyd17 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 i have 2 sets of 2 slot mags, for the front, i have high offset ( have not measured, im about to do some measuring on that though) 13x5.5. and for the rear, 14x7 (low offset.) what size tires should i run to fill the wheel wells and give it a wide beefed up stance? and should i do the 280zx strut swap?

ggzilla Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Should you do it? Depends on the wheels you have? Tire sizye to fill the wheelwels depends on the wheel width and offset. Quote Link to comment

With those 13" wheels, you can't do the 280ZX strut swap. Those wheels won't clear the brakes, and with a high offset they will rub the strut tube. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Why would you want that? 210 struts already have strong brakes and can be lowered 2" without cutting the struts. The track is wider which is good. Quote Link to comment

The track is wider which is good. how do you lower it? does that go for both front and rear? still learning about all the suspension. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes, front and rear are both coil spring and can be lowered the same. Lower it just like a 510, a Maxima, or any other Datsun car * buy special lowering springs Or * cut the existing springs Or * lower the spring perch Or * fit shorter tires. I lowered my B110 this way 1.5" without touching the suspension Quote Link to comment

moomin Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 sorry to revive this thread from the dead, but I've got a stock 210. and I want to get new wheels (+ tires). I've found quite a few on ebay that I like the look of, but they are in a range of different sizes and I could use some insight on whether or not they would work with my car. I'm pretty uninformed when it comes to wheels/tires, but im trying to learn. The below ones are all 4x100 or 4x114.3, which if I understand correctly, the former of which wouldn't work stock but I could get to work with some adapters. The ones im looking at are: - 15x7(+40 offset) rota (knockoff work equips) - 15x8 (+10 offset) rota aleica (knockoff sakuras) - 14x6 (+15 offset) hayashi mesh - techno racing with different size on front & back: (Front: 14 x 6.5 +9 offset, Rear: 14 x 7.0 +2 offset) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Easiest fit: - 14x6 (+15 offset) hayashi mesh Sexiest fit: - techno racing with different size on front & back: (Front: 14 x 6.5 +9 offset, Rear: 14 x 7.0 +2 offset) 1 Quote Link to comment
thatdirtykid Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Your bolt pattern is 4x4.5 (114.3) don't mess with wheels requiring adapters. You would have to run more positive offset and are just adding cost and weight. 1 Quote Link to comment

The +15 may be better for the rear, but you will probably need some spacers in the front if you do. But it's going to need a healthy roll in the back and serious roll/pull up front. And you'll likely need a 195/50-15 to keep it from rubbing. And you won't be lowering the back more than about 2" from stock. If I wanted them bad enough, I'd be flare shopping and getting the -6.

I think all datsuns were meant to try these wheels on at least for a one night stand. They're so pretty, I drool over them every time I see them. I'm thinking either roll the fenders or put some zg flares on. Thanks for the info by the way. As always very informative, I'm trying on figuring out wheels out a little bit more this week. (You know study up on something every week) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 ...damn... cause I want them bad. I think all datsuns were meant to try these wheels on at least for a one night stand. Yeah, I just wish they made them a little bit skinnier. 7.5s (or even 8s) would be easier to fit on a variety of Datsuns... Quote Link to comment
Sunny_RSA Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Sorry for bringing this up AGAIN, I'm a newbie to the whole cars/wheels thing. I have a Sunny B310 sedan, it came from Australia many years ago (I live in South Africa). I'd like to know if I could fit a Drag DR-20 15x7 0mm on a 195/50/15 tyre without too much trouble? Would I have to roll the fenders? and how much would it rub (if it all)? Thanks, Quote Link to comment

If you can source some 280ZX front struts/brakes it will tuck very well once you swap those in. How much it rubs is entirely dependent upon how low the car is. B) Quote Link to comment
