I have seen R33 Skylines with 4 stud 114.3 PCD so that opens up a huge range of wheels available to you. I have long wheel studs and spacers on my race car...with almost a FWD offset and they look and perform great.

Dont pimp your ride! You'll have to go to stanza struts and run fwd wheels im sure. Better off with some nice wide 13/14's i reckon. Otherwise it'll look pox. Just my view.

If you want 15's you can go for sirocco's (ROH i think) You can get them as blanks and have whatever offset & stud pattern you like, but it will take a bit of budget. They dont look too "pimp" as long as you dont go for the chrome ones

Otherwise minilites & globes come in a few RWD offsets that should fit (i.e. +21) A 15x6 +21 will give you about 110mm backspace so that would be marginal for a 195/50R15 when you take into account tyre bulge...... But I'm not sure if you can get a 195/50/15 onto a stock strut anyone done it?

Unfortunatley most of the commonly available 15 rims are 6.5" wide which means you have to have a really low offset- and would risk breaking stub axles...... but it's academic because they generally only come in FWD offsets anyway

The best period wheel for your Datsun will always be the 8 spoke RS Watanabe, super light and look just right.

13x7s with a 112mm backspace will be perfect for a 205 tyre.

Duncan, i'm running 1400 sunny discs which increase the offset & I will probably have to slightly turn up the front guards. I think the original struts are fitted but i'm not sure as I didn't do the work. I still think these are the best wheels as I test fitted them on the rear with 205,s & the clearance inside & out matched perfectly.

Thanks for the info. My car currently has 185/70-13's on what I believe is a Sunny rim. I would like to go panasport/minilites as I like the way they look on the Datsuns. I don't think I really need a much wider tire, but a 185/60 in 14" might be pretty cool.

I may put an A14 / 63A combo into my Datsun, but it's for street driving only. So I think a 185/195 width would look nice and perform well for street use.
