These are the rims/tires I bought for my car and I can only fit the the rears. I did noticed today test driving with only the rears it would bottom out and the front would rattle uncontrollably which is normal since the whole suspension dynamics had changed with bigger rims and tires...

Rims/Tires

I dont have any other information on these rims so it's hard to measure the fitment...

We got every kind of wheel manufacturers. We can get Minilites if we want. No problem buying the wheels, just a matter of cost.

Brunop, which are you thinking of? In Seattle I can get:
- J's Tipo
- Nostalgic Hero
But could order just about any mag from Japan--which ones should I get? I haven't seen any dedicated to modifying datsuns. Do you mean like "Nissan Q Legends", i thought those were special edition magazines.

Les Schawb or Big-o tires would be a good place to try for spacers and longer wheel studs.

I just picked up some 14" Mags from a 240z but only the rear would fit? The front would not fit due to the brakes hitting agains the rims. I definitely do the 240 Struts/Brakes swap so I can fit them in..
This is a problem with wheel offset.

Don't count on them fitting after you put 240 struts in. I would guess the wheels with that offset would now hit the fenders. But maybe it would work.

Best to measure wheels up carefully.
