caseyg4017 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hey, I was wondering if anybody knew what width and offset wheel fits best on a lowered b210. My girlfriends Datsun is stock height on 17s and she loves the size but wants to lower it and can't because the will rub. I attached a pic of the Altima I built her and the Datsun I'm building now at a local show. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment
CWhip Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I put 15" Z rims on mine, lowered it a little and they still rub sometimes. Sorry, I'm on my phone and can't post pics. Quote Link to comment
caseyg4017 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 That's what I figured, I don't think i'm going to be able to lower it with this big of a wheel unless I get the perfect offset and size or modify the fenders. Quote Link to comment

The problem with the 17s is the overall diameter of the tire. That is why it rubs. ;) You will get a lot less rubbing with a 14" or 15" wheel (assuming proper tire size). If she is set on having 17s, she is set on this ride height. ^_^ Quote Link to comment

caseyg4017 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 What offset do you run with the 15x7? they look killer! Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 What offset do you run with the 15x7? they look killer! Those are a zero offset. In the rear, it's a very good fit. Up front you really only want to go that "aggressive" if you already have 280ZX struts fitted (narrows the track 1/2" per side). If you are keeping the stock struts, you'd be better off with something in a +10 to +15 range up front. Quote Link to comment
