Just enquiring guys i am looking at putting work equip wheels on my 82 datsun 1200 ute.

Im looking at 4x114.3 with 15x5.5 offset of +16 and lip size of 32mm for the front and
15x6 offset of +22 and lip size of 32mm for the rear

Now im just wanting to know at normal ride height (stanza struts) will the wheels rub guard or sit out of the guards at that size?

Is anyone running work wheels currently and what sizes are they running??

Out the guards

Those wheels will not rub.

But the tyres might. What size you thinking of running?

Why 5"

I was thinking running 205/45 R15.

Im currently running alex's old billet wheels but the wheels sit too far out the front gaurds with a 10mm spacer( guards not rolled) http://www.flickr.com/photos/cemaxsna ... in/set-72157626513597318/ (the wheels in the picture are not the ones i own just a picture i found on flickr to show what they are)

But when i need to throw the car over rego i cant have those wheels on the car to pass rego in NSW because they sit out so far.

I do also have a set of TRX wheels at home on another datsun 1200 not being used but the tires rub guard as these wheels are not used just sit on the other datsun for a rolling chassis

Car a few weeks ago

What would you recommend in sizes then. Without the guards rolled at a normal ride height?

For 205 tyres, 5.5 to 8.5 is recommended for some brands. You should go by the manufacturer's recommendation. Compare to Advan Specs

Quote:So why not remove the spacer? Or will the tyre hit the spring? 205s are a bit wide for the front.

205 tyre will not fit on the front without rolling/pulling the guard. And since you have Stanza struts you have slightly less room. In the photo above, the front tyres are sticking out.

Extreme negative camber can also help with front guard clearance.

Yeh the 10mm spacer is giving just enough clearence on the spring for it to roll freely. But rolling the guards is most certainly not an option since the car has been painted don't want to jeopardise the paint and maybe have it fracture.

The photo above is my car currently with the billet wheels. The wheels sit out both sides about an inch for both front wheels.

I will certainly take your advise and i think ill have to do some further research before i go jump in and buy some wheels.

I just need it to fit correctly with a set of wheels i like, which is the hard part.

Adjustable lower arms and camber tops would help you pull them in, full lock would still be rubbing on the inside.

I get rubbing on the footwell with Sss stanza rim's with stanza strut cut down to R31 inserts, even with the radius rods pulled forward. Its hard to avoid.
