Bkplunk64 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Brandon here first time poster, I got a 67 pl411 with some wide tires. So the question should I continue to roll and pull fenders or pony up the money and buy some flares and cut the fenders to facilitate the wide tires? I currently have the lips rolled and slightly pulled with what I can do myself but they are still rubbing just on the outside of the tred. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Get proper offset rims and tires. Sure it takes a little thinking and work but the results are worth it. Tires fit the car, not the car fits the tires. Welcome, Brandon to Ratsun, where everyone has an opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Like Mike said.. get shit that fits. 95% of flares are ugly. Welcome aboard. 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Get a smaller profile of tire. Cutting that to put flares on is just a shame. 2 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 1967PL411, rare enough to seriously consider preserving vs butchering! Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 dude........ you cut that thing and i vote you be banished from all aspects datsun........ but if you can hold out on your budget to get some real wheels, you can get spring heplers, but what ever you do dont cut that thing edit are these things leafs? 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Rear leaf springs, YES! Quote Link to comment
Bkplunk64 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sounds about right tendril, I'm a hold out, I really like the wheels though maybe a smaller tire size, any ideas on that? They are 14x8.5 if the guy is correct on the size he said. Quote Link to comment
Bkplunk64 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Also what would be recommended for spring helpers? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Those aren't 8.5 inches wide. They'd poke. What tire size are you running? Where in Washington are you? Quote Link to comment
Bkplunk64 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 215/60 I believe, and I'm currently at ft.lewis Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have 8" wide wheels with a 65 profile and mine stretch ever so slightly. You have like 6.5 inch wide wheels. Tire sizes are hard, expensive, to find in 14. At least in smaller ratios. Step down to like a 195 or 205 width with a 50 or 55 profile. I don't know what the stock tire size is. Find that out then try to keep the same size total diameter with whatever you choose. Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 If you go flares you will have to find tire/rim combo that fills them all the way. using any wheels that don't fill the flares it will make the flares pointless and it will look dumb Pulling the fenders would be a better option Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have a 4" grinder if you spriing for a pack of Harbor Freight cutter wheels.. Do you have a running, driving 411 right now ?? 1 Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 If you end up gong with a different wheel , MAKE SURE THE STUDS ARE THE SAME AS THE LUGS !!!!! This is the problem holding up my FBSS 411. The 65 411 has smaller studs than newer style wheels. I have 200sx wheels on my 411, The studs are a different thread pitch and are a larger stud for the wheels I am running. The only solution I have found, is to get some grade 10 bolts, have the ends milled down and weld the studs in. I might go with a higher grade bolt to handle all the bouncing around it will be doing. Also if you roll the fenders use some HEAT !! the rears go fairly easy but the fronts are a PIA !!! way soft metal it likes to push the fender out and can get it a little funky. Good Luck !!

Draker Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I've used that option on my car.. Haven't touched it for 6 weeks. Been using that on my 2 door for 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 6.5" Maybe 7" wide with narrow/ lower profile tires is about as wide as lil 410/411's can handle... Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Do whatever you want to do to it, it's yours so make it the way you want it. There are opinions like assholes,( everyone has one). If you choose to fuck it up in someone else's opinion, that's too bad. They will get over it. when I get around to posting more pics of my truck, lots will say it needs to be (moar) lower. whatever moar means, but it's staying at the stock height Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Adverb moar (Internet slang, humorous) Alternative form of more. Urban Dictionary: 1. A combination of “more” and “roar”. 2. An order bellowed to a forum to remedy the bellower’s insufficient pr0n collection. Usually accompanied by foaming at the mouth. troll89 posts: omg she’s hawt! MOAR!!. 1 Quote Link to comment
