hey, can anyone tell me how wide you can go with wheels on standed 1200 setup?

i have 6inch mags with 185's all round, they slitghy stick out of the body like a tiny bit, they do rub a bit on full turn but i am to lazy to get the hammer an knock the arches abit

6 inches with 60 series 185s are generally the best fit, you can fit 7 inch wheels, but they are a tight fit, and require a fair bit of guard massage. Getting the offset correct for 6 inch can be a bit difficult.

I recommend the 14x5.5 Pintara rims. They are a good starting point for a 1200. 185/60/14s fit nicely.

But hardly anyone puts mags on a 1200, that hasn't already installed different struts, lower arms, or some form of front suspension change, so this may explain why the answer to your question is not clear from reading the previous entries.

Working on Datsuns is always an adventure, you have to go find the fun. You might need to do some measuring, and tell us.

Dattodude what model Pintara are you referring to? What do the wheels look like?
Thanks Matty

205-width tires will fit the back of an unmodified 1200 if you have custom wheels, or can find a wheel with just the right offset.

I didn't know they made a 205/SR12 ...

For 205s, look for wheels bigger than 12"

The front wheel is a standard Pintara wheel. You can put 195/55s on these as well. to fit on a 1200. It can depend on the tire manufacturer/stiffness of sidewall though.
