d.p Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Take a pic form the front, either side of the truck so I can see how far they protrude. And let us know how well those tires grip on the mean suburban streets of wherever you live. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Here’s the frontal view. 2 Quote Link to comment

d.p Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Good thing you aren’t lowered cause you would slice right into that tire. Can you go full lock with those wide boys on the front? 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I am lowered. Indexed 2 splines and then cranked down on the torsions. They’re only 205’s. They’re wider and shorter than my previous tires by 1 size. 2 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Make sure they don't trap water in them. 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Does anyone know why Nissan went through the trouble of grounding the tail light frame? It makes no sense. They could have grounded directly to the frame instead of running the ground through some rusty shit 4 times. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Maybe just following N American rules for vehicles. Hence the insanely stupid dimmer switches. I don't think Datsuns in Japan had them but all NA must have dim able dash lights. The problem is they are not anywhere near bright enough in the first place to ever need dimming. Is there anyone here that has to dim their stock Datsun dash light because they are too bright????? I have never been able to read the odometer in my 620 or 710s at night. A thousand times I have grabbed and tried to turn them up only to find they are maxed out. It's a cruel, cruel trick they play on us. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm thinking of getting these tires from 4wheelonline but for my car. The truck seems to wander a little bit more with them on uneven road surfaces, but that might be a side effect of the alignment being a little bit off in the front. They grip like hell in corners. I was able to break traction with them tonight, but only because the rear axle lifted the inner wheel. I don’t have any wet conditions to report because I don’t drive it in the rain. 3 Quote Link to comment
