Most likely be fine in the fitment. You may need a 4-5mm spacer on the rears. Get the owner to measure the back spacer front the bolt up face to inside of wheel(Diff cetre end) then measure your own car.
Other thing i would check is the spacing for the calliper(X Factor) if your running disc' up front.

You game throwing those wheels up here, a heap of people have been chasing those. Good luck

By the look of it... NO

The would prob clear on the rear but almost definatly hit the upper control arm on the front... unless they clear it cos their so big (15")

My Wats are 13x7 all round. 0 offset on the back that stick out a standard guard about 1" with 205s but i have a good 1" or more to the inner guard. On the front they are +12 and i have to run a about 10mm spacer to JUST clear the balljoint. So bringing them back to near 0... And they stick out the guards a good 1-2".

That and 15"s look too big on 1000s IMO. And if you get them that will be 3 1000s in Perth with Wats But i was the first

they arn't propper Watanabe's though, they are suited to front drive...

yea they looked like fwd offset to me

I am voting with the no crowd as well , if only because they look like they are for a modern car, you need some old skool deep dish Watanabes for the period look on the little KB10.

So beattie - if you were to go for 13x7 or 13x6 again - what would be the ideal offset for a 1200?

0 and greater?

I wouldn't mind them sticking out the front guards a bit - as it's a circuit car.

I understand vaugely that you effect your handling if you pick the wrong offset wheels as well - so don't want to get caught out going too deep dish either.

on a 1200... i have nfi! on a 1000 i would say 0 would be best. They hang out a little but nothing drastic. on a 6" rim you could maybe go a little more neg offset and not have them hanging out your guards

the superlites on my wagon are 13x7 with -7 offset and i would say they are a good offset 4 me. poke the gaurds a bit but im into that.
If i ran a positive offset i think i'd beat myself up as they would be lame haha
Just my opinion though. Go into the negatives and you'll be pleased with a tough datsun.
