RTB Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 There's a set of work ewings 16x7 30mm offset. Is 16 too big? If anyone has them mounted I would really appreciate it if you posted pictures of it. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm not sure if this thread will help, but I was reading it last night and got some good pointers from it: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/51006-510-16-wheels-offset/ It mentions 16x7 with +15 and possibly +20 Quote Link to comment
Dattokai Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 16's can fit, but they look a bit big for my taste. Here's a 510 on 16's But I know 7's can fit with some fender rolling. Unaware on the width and offset, might be 8. Here's 15x7, 0 offset. Quote Link to comment
Dattokai Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Also, are the Ewings the 5-spoke or the fins? Specs 15×6.5 +21mm offset and 15×7 +16mm http://www.myrideisme.com/Blog/datsun-510-nickel-dime-1-blast-to-drive/ Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Aussie guys run 16s all the time. DatsunFreak had 16s on his tan car as well... Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 16 look ok but 15 look better JMO Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yea I'm really hesitant to get them just because they are 16s. They are 16x7 30mm offset. I know that should fit without having to roll my fenders. The big problem I think I would have is that I'm running practically a race suspension. Very stiff. With 16s I would run even lower profile tires which would obviously make my ride even stiffer. Quote Link to comment
LB2 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Some have been known to call 16's on a 510 as Cartoon Wheels. Me well,,,,I think it really depends on the color of the 510 that makes the wheels, especially something as large as 16's. Lou Quote Link to comment
