masonwaller3@gmail.com Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Do not fit on my 80 510 wagon, even with 10 mm spacer the inner lip hits the strut. WTF will fit dammit Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I sold a guy 15x6 +24 wheels for his '80 510 2 door. They fit fine with 205/50 tires. These have a 4.4" back space Your 8" wheels have a 5.5" back space, I doubt you can fit much more than a 4.5" backspace without hitting the strut (maybe closer to 5.0" with a really stretched tire). On an 8" rim to get a 4.5" backspace you need a +0 offset. Now that might clear the strut, but it is an inch further outboard that what you have that doesn't fit and now the fender becomes the issue. Putting an 8" wheel on any car that came with 4.5" originally takes allot of measuring and likely a bunch of fender rolling. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 What he said. 15x8 +0 is the only 8" wheel that comes close to fitting as is. Better with a roll/pull and a stretched tire. Quote Link to comment
masonwaller3@gmail.com Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ok so a 15x7 +0 up front & maybe a15x8 +0 in the back? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 most of us are not familiar with the 80 yr struts. Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 The 80 yr strut is usually done with the aid of a walker, 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Took me a second to get it Ha Ha You funny MoFO Quote Link to comment
510T Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I ran the same size (15x8+20) on S12 200sx 4 lug struts and then Infiniti M30 struts with 5mm spacer and 1" bumpsteer spacers/RCA's. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ok so a 15x7 +0 up front & maybe a15x8 +0 in the back? That works, but may stick out a tad. May still need a skinny tire (like a 175/55-15 front and 195/50-15 rear). Swapping to 280ZX struts would help that front fit better. Quote Link to comment
masonwaller3@gmail.com Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ive got 280zx struts. Sold the wheels now on the prow for some more. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Do your homework. You want a happy marriage? Find someone that fits you or you'll be doing all the changing to fit to her. Smokin' hot, high maintenance girlfriends are nice to look at but a cunt to live with full time. Two words... sensible shoes. Rims and tires fit the car, not the other way round. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 As I answered you before in your other thread... My wagon has ZX struts and 14x7 0 offset fits anything more than 7" will not fit if your car is loweredIf you get 15s, you will probably have to run less then 60 series because it might hit your bottom perchI don't think you can fit an 8 back there. I had a 14x7 0 offset 205/60 in the rear and I had like 3 playing cards of space between the sidewall and the inner fender. Not trying to be a dick, but...If you go making threads asking questions, at least read the answers. I've been daily driving a lowered wagon almost exactly the same as yours for 3 and a half years.
