hey guys anyone put trx rims on a 1200 ute? of course. anyway u guys noticed the wheel studs r really short, do u guys get longer wheel studs or just put up with it? cheers

The problem with TRX rims is they are designed for a strut with negative scrub offset,whilst they may physically fit on older datsuns like 1200's 1600's and stanzas or their struts they will not have the correct steering geometry and handling will not be as good as with wheels with the correct offset for the older strut design.
Rims for older toyota's and mitsubishi's as well as older triumph cars and earlier datsuns offer compatable offset's and will work much better and offer a decent range when searching,just remember nothing front wheel drive will work correctly as they also use negative scrub offset designs.
If you are using bluebird struts it can be an option with some mods.
Rear studs for a Skyline or Bluebird will be longer as they used a top hat style disk that sat over the studs hence the studs are slightly longer,Subaru's also offer studs you can use due to their long standing tie up with Nissan

interesting steve i will have a closer look at this offset ur talkin about, not keen on gettin new trims i dont understand y so many ppl use trx rims on 1200's though if wat ur sayin is right

cos they're pretty common. my bro picked up a set with near new tyres for 40 bucks!

wow $40 is a bargin lol

The other thing to remember is weight,I had Aunger Hustlers 6x13 on my Sunny van and when I found a set of Enkie comp 8 rims they weighed 5.2 kilo's as opposed to the Hustlers at 7 kilo's for the same rim size,the improvement to the feel and handling of the car was so great you really have to swap rims with someone back to back to appreciate the improvement,when you do you will never accept that compromise ever again and that was only about 2 kilo's.
Trx rims are heavy 1200's are light and these areas have a greater affect on lighter cars than with something like a falcon,tyre weight can also be measured before you buy you will be surprised how much tyres vary and you need only use a bathroom scale to check even at the tyre shop.

yeah powdercoated and all. the fella was just keen to get rid of them haha, score for my brother!

the offset on trx rims isnt really any different to any other 15s that ppl run on 1200s, maybe about 5mm more positive offset than most nissan rims. weight is also about the same as all other one piece 15s

but to the original question, with the correct wheel nuts and no spacers the stock studs should be long enough

you need nuts like these


best option is raping a trx or et pulsar at a pickapart they not that cheap new.
they look good but drive #OOPS#.

apprently there are two different styles of wheel nuts to suit them. i have two sets of trx wheels and they require different wheel nuts/fitting.
i ended up making custom wheel nuts for the set i got off greendog.
