> what is the best rim size and tires to use for a 71 1200?
12x5. The Datsun 1200 was designed for 12x4, but the wider wheel allows you to fit wider rubber. This improves both braking and roadholding. You can fit 165 or 175 width tires to a 12x5 wheel.
I use 165/55R12, but it is a rough ride. 175/65R12 would be better but I wasn't able to find them.
Due to limited choices in 12" tires (most companies recently stopped making them), you might consider 13" wheel. 175/60R13 on front and 185/60R13 on back is a good combintation for a 1200.

I have 14 x 7 panasports now they are fine in the back but to big for the front, they rub on the shock and look funny I had 13x6 before and they looked to small for the rear. Im thinking about going back to 13x6 and lowering it in the back. but also there isnt alot of tires for that size. what is the best rim size and tires to use for a 71 1200?
