#1 datsun 1000 rim sizes
Datsun1000 Posted on: 2008/4/14 9:32
Hi Guys,

its been a couple of years since ive been on here, and i have now pretty much finnished my 1000 2dr sedan, but im looking at upping the wheel size from the 12" kidneys that are on it.

what i need to know is what 14" or 15" rims have the correct offset and how wide can i go, im looking at putting some semi-slicks on it but i have not done any gaurd mods.

any help woud be appreciated, cheers!

14s scrub really bad on the front and lock when on full steer lock. would be fixed with wheel spaces i got 15s unders the rears with a little scrubing on the inside but it was fixed with a hammer as for the ofsett on them no idea on it

do 15s miss the control arms at the front as they are bigger?

i have a set of 15" with a completly wrong offset, but looking at them kinda lined up it looks like 15s might go but, i dont want to buy new rims unless i am a little closer to being sure

Yeh 15s fit. They look too big in my opinion though. Kue1000 has a set of 15s on his blue sedan. Theres pics somewhere, have a look in the perth events section in the photo album.

i had 14" 260Z mags on my thou with 165/55R14 tyres and they didnt rub anywhere.

Now i have 13x7 RS Watanabes with 0 offset and they are great!

tried fitting 0 offset 13 x 6 on the front of cruzens 1000 sedan, no go, did you hammer the floor pan to get them to fit the front or what beatie?

hmm dont think so. They are 13x7 +12 on the front but about a 10mm spacer.

I flared the guards a little, but dont think i had to beat the footwell in. i run 185/60R13 up front and 205/60R13 in the rear. With the rears with exactly 0 offset i recon i could go another inch inwards, and they dont hang out of the guards either. The fronts hang out about a inch.

Oh and i only paid about $600 for my Wats off sidedrought from the forums here. No tyres and they looked like new, needed paint and a polish but that was easy enough. But that was cheap and i feel i was lucky to snap em up!
