q-tip Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 May need spacers in the front to clear struts Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Im running 15x7 +25 Rota RBs and they barely fit... needed longer studs in the front and a 10 mm spacer to allow the 205 tires enough clearance with the strut housing- narrower tires would work to. Rears are very tight on the arms... cant run clamp on weights. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/46032-red-71-4dr-first-510-streetautocross/page-5 Quote Link to comment
510T Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Picture of flared car? I'd bet something like a 15x9 +0 (5" backspacing) would fit better than an 8 +20 (5.25" backspace). Maybe a 225/45R15 tire? Picture will help and measure what you've got. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 15x8 +20 won't fit stock 510 suspension. 15x8 +0 with 205 tires will fit a flared 510. Quote Link to comment

Dime Dave Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Here is what 15x7 +0 offset wheels with 205/50-15 tires look like. These are two of our customer's cars. Generally 7" and 205 tires are all that is needed on a 510. The red car has an extremely well built turbo L20B w/ 200+hp. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Generally 4.5" and 155 tires are all that is needed on a 510. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 varies 4.0" & 4.5" (I have a stack of both sizes) and I thought the preferred tire was a 5.60-13? Link: http://www.nissan.co.za/en/web/heritage/datsun_bluebird_1600_deluxe.htm Quote Link to comment
its-dat510 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I want something deep dish though I like the stance look with stretched tire so i want to see if any 15x8 fit it cause it has the stock suspension? Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 You can't get a deep dish wheel on a stock-ish car. Physically not possible. An 8 inch wide wheel also has problems fitting in the wheelwell out back. Quote Link to comment
its-dat510 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I read other posts today and i should be able to fit 15x8 +0 with no problem i dont know if this is right but its what i read?? has any one tried 15x8 +0 with stock suspension? Quote Link to comment

r0p0doe Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Are you not reading the replies in your own thread? I don't think op bothered to do research either, chopped springs on stock suspension isn't going to give you many options. I honestly think he needs to get his suspension setup first and worry about wheels later... 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, good luck with it. Some guys have got it to work, but it's a super tight fit. If they rub the body or a-arm don't complain to us. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 15x7 0deg would be a better guess to fitting15x 8 +20. the +20 put the tire close to the strut. but if streched you mite be fine. But its a big guess on our part.run a 7 up front and if dont fit I guess you culd try a Ichiba.com 5 mm spacer to fill int flair if too much rin going inside Quote Link to comment

A 15x8 zero offset with a 205/50-15 fits very well on a flared car with stock struts. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 This was my car with that combo... It had zero rubbing anywhere, and was in fact a very conservative fit. Quote Link to comment
its-dat510 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 thanks i think i will be getting 15x8 +0 then B) Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 its dat51- Datsunfreak car is not lowered a lot. You take this into consideration. Lokk like the front will hit if you want to get the cool look. To me his or that car is not low enough. more or less the wheels dictated the stance on this Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 its dat51- Datsunfreak car is not lowered a lot. You take this into consideration. Yes, that red car is only 2" down all around. I normally do 3" rear and 4" front. Lokk like the front will hit if you want to get the cool look. You could go a good bit lower by just switching to a 195/50-15, or better yet a 185/55-15. To me his or that car is not low enough. more or less the wheels dictated the stance on this Not low enough for me either, but I sold it before I had a chance to get it lower. :rofl: And I went that way with the wheels/tires because they were cheap as hell and filled the flares, so... Had I kept it longer, and gone lower, I'd have looked for a smaller tire to get more clearance. Quote Link to comment
