510antihero Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I own a 1978 Datsun 510/ Stanza. The suspension is factory, and my rims are 14x6 with +10 offset. The tires I am looking at buying are 215/60R14. Does anybody know if these will fit my car? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 they will fit but you wont be able to lower much if at all..because of width 215/60/14 on a 79 510 wagon front and back Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Why are you going so big ? 195/60/14-- 185/60/14 are way easier to find and they fit better Taken today ,, car was lower in front by a inch and a half but ate tires because of camber. 195/60/14 front 205/60/14 rear tried to show tires not sticking past fenders ( 215/60/14s did )but it doesn`t really show Quote Link to comment

My car currently has 195/60r14 on it and I wanted to try go alittle wider on tires. But your definetly right about finding tires in the 215 size. Not really any good choices. And I'd rather not take a chance an have my tires smash my fenders. So I'll just stick to 195/60r14 so I can get some better tires. Quote Link to comment
