Hello Mr. Unicorn and welcome to Ratsun. Thank you for joining. If you have a preferred name post it and some pictures of your 620, the best looking Datsun truck ever made.

 

This is the 620 discussion forum for discussing and hopefully answering all things 620. We don't have a lot of rules here, but if you are looking to buy or sell something, please do so in our classifieds section... http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/10-wheels-and-tires/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc here is a link to the wheels section.

 

What we can discuss here, is what will and what won't fit your '73. Some information from you will help here.

 

What conversion did you do? BEEBANI's?

What calipers did you use?

Are you using the stock '73 rims?

 

Later '78 and up 620s had disc brakes and the rims were slightly different to clear them.

 

How did you arrive at -25mm?

 

I guess you want a negative offset rim with it more towards the road and away from the truck so they will clear the caliper then? You realize that this will possibly prevent you later lowering the ride height because the rims will be sticking out too far?

 

Would it be possible to grind away some material from the caliper for clearance?

Larger diameter wheels are required when swapping to disc brakes. The stock 14" wheels are too small as you have discovered. A 15" wheel should clear everything just fine in a variety of offsets. 

 

Here are 15 x 7 rims with pathfinder calipers. They clear nicely.
