BrooklynAnnarkie Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Well, stock is 155-13, but I ran mine with 165's for years. The only reason why I ended up buying 155s recently is because they were cheaper. I wish I could put 14 inch wheels on her because I really want to put skull and crossbones hubcaps on her, but I don't know too much about how to pull that off. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 175 70 13's on mine. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/59763-my-1980-datsun-b310-210/page-5 Quote Link to comment
vex210 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Sale me your bumpers and ill tell you....:) :) :) 14x7 -9offset 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 14x7 -9offset With a 185/60-14 this will fit in the back with just rolling the lips (a must for anything wider than stock). It will poke out up front, unless you swap in 280ZX struts. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Best conservative fit, 14x6, 14x7, 15x6, or 15x7 in the +10 range up front (or +0 with 280ZX struts), and a +0 out back, with 195 tires. Best aggressive fit, the aformentioned 14x7 -9 combo, or a 15x8 +0 with a 195/50-15, 280ZX struts up front and rolled lips in the back. Quote Link to comment
vex210 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here my in konigs on 185/60r14 around, you could use also 185/55r14 on front. 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 you could use also 185/55r14 on front. That's actually a good size all around because it fits the fender openings better. :thumbup: Only reason I didn't mention it is because they are getting pretty hard to find. :blush: Quote Link to comment
DatzLOWsun Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I've been curious if I could fit 15x8 with 0 offset on my 1982 b310 wagon anyone have any pics of the fittment Quote Link to comment

mrmark Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'd like to run some different wheels but I don't know what to get either. The stock 280zx turbo wheels look cool. I'm currently running 185/60/14's but they rub just a little. I think the rubbing is due more to the wheel size than anything else. Quote Link to comment

I'm currently running 185/60/14's but they rub just a little. I think the rubbing is due more to the wheel size than anything else. What rims are you using? The rim positions the wheel in toward the vehicle (positive offset) or out from the vehicle (negative offset) also known as off set. If your fronts are rubbing the frame on turns they may be too positive. If rubbing the fender lip, too negative. If front or rear rub the fender lips on bumps then they are sticking out too far and are negative and need to be more positive offset. You can usually tell just by looking and imagining the wheel and tire moved in or out for added clearance. In some cases the vehicle is just too low and the front fender lip will come down on the outward turned tire during turns. You may be able to use a narrower tire that pulls the tread inward towards the rim center for added clearance but they start to look 'hella stretched'. Proper rim offset is the key to good tire to body fit. 1 Quote Link to comment
DatzLOWsun Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm all for stretched tires I'm going to have to do some suspension work before getting new wheels my datsun is on bump stops right now (tucking the ugly 13s that are on it) Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've got 175/70 13s. I had 155 cause my car is all stock. Had to get new tires and these were on sale. They're fine but does throw off your speed by 5mph. Quote Link to comment
hoodradKyle Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I haven't rolled the lips at all yet and didn't noticed any rubbing yet. Rears are 14x8+12 with 185/55 and the fronts are 14x6.5+0 with 165/60. I'm running 280zx front struts as well, seems like you could roll the fender and probably get another 1" of wheel to tuck in the rear just fine. However the front seem to already sit almost on the fender line. I don't really have much to add to this topic but I saw it and had some wheels laying around. I figured pics can never hurt Quote Link to comment
