Im new to this forum and just bought my car, and as these are getting very rare in norway, there is not many people to discuss the future of my car with...
So im turning to you as my new brothers in arms;) with som questions about wheels and tyres:

*What is the recomended wheel and tyre size for my '71 1200 2dr sedan?

*Does anyon know if there are any frp/carbonfiber fender flairs made for it?

*What bolt pattern is it, as i cant seem to find it anywhere?(Dimentions/ ET/Offset)

The PCD for you car is 114.3 X 4. As for the size take your pick. People have done everything from 12 x 5 to 17 inch.

as far as wheels are concerned people will recomend everything from 13's to 16's. personally i think anything over 14in is to big.

wheel sizing is really up to you and what you like alot of people stick with the 13s but you can fit up to 17s if you use the search button you can find heaps of pics of 1200s with all differnet sizes. im a fan of 16s but it totally up to you... the rims you should try to get are offset of neg24, as these will allow the widest rims without hitting the strut

Offset of +24 matey, unless your going to go ahead and flare it.

Offset is the hub mounting face in relation to centre of wheel in mm.

not on the rear of a sedan due to the step in the rear inner wheel arch near where the door meets the body.

If the car is fairly stock you don't want to get to crazy: With 68HP on tap bigger tires are going to slow it down. I'd recommend 185/60 13's for good handling & fairly low rolling resistance. At Willow Springs raceway (high speed track) I tried some 175/60 13's laps times were slightly faster but the car was a touch skatey.
When we first got the 1200 we did a road trip with a set of 155/80 13's on it.....................rolled like mad but on mountain roads anything above 75 mph corners were interesting............also driven a stock B210/120Y with 205/60 14's and it worked well at local autocross but boy it sapped power.
So I'd stick with the aforementioned 185/60 13's as they''ll clear the fenders and give good all around performance.

Nissan recommends 155-SR12. That's what I have, they are inexpensive and last forever.

If you change sizes then you need to consider many things.
<-- wiki, search for tires

The wheel bolt pattern is 4-on-4-1/2 inch, as befitting Nissan's heritage building British cars. Converted to metric measurements it is 4-on-114.3 PCD.
