Sanding won't do by its self. Somerust wi be left Pitted in to the metal. The ideal method is media blasting/ soda blasting. Or go get some deoxodine for
Your local auto shop. It will desolve the rust and clean the metal. Then use a good acid etch primer to make sure it stays away.

I just measured the rims I already have on my coupe and it seams they are already 13x8 inch with zero offset and they have 205 tyres on them. So that answers my question. The shakotans will fit with. O
Worries. At the most ill need to streatch the front gurds a little

He is running 195 tires. I would like to run 205

I just got a reply email from the guy in the link I posted above and this is what he said


By the look of it they seem to be fitting quite nicely.

Nah this is a race car so streatch isn't a
Good thing. I might have to run a narrower rim so I can run a wider tire

This is the car I am referring to. The rims are rota shakotans in 15x8 zero offset

Datsunbloke. You wouldn't know the offset of those rims would you. The ones I have seen where under the gurds alot more than those.

Has any one fitted 15x8 rims with zero offset to their 1200 before. I have seen a few photos and they seam to fit reasonably well has any one else got photos to share

They are eleagle for road use in all stats as far as I know.

Yeh my little pipe wrench would get them with no problem at all
