Not correct. A 6" wheel is approximately 7" wide overall.

Hi

With this measruments:

face measure 109mm
Back Measure 89mm

Whells 13*6


6"=152.40mm/2=76.20mm centerline



offset +12mm
offset +15mm
offset +23mm

Back measure 89mm Face Measure 109mm

76.20+12=88.20 76.20-12=64.20
76.20+18=94.20 76.20-18=58.20
76.20+23=99.20 76.20-23=53.20

According the chassis offset front whell the only offset i can put on My Datsun 1200 2 Door Sedan Year 1973 Europe (Portugal)is +12mm


Back measure

89mm-88.20mm=0.80mm clearance reducted

Face measure

109-64.20=44.80mm clearance


It is correct?

Many people says the use +12mm, +15mm and +23mm offset with any changes.


Many thanks on advance.

Hi

You have reason, i took the measures when i have the car lifted.

The measures must be taken when i have the car lifted at the the same level at the other front whell?

To choose a correct offset that is the way a i had explain?

13*6 175/60 tyres withh +12 offset according with the standard measures i think they fit?

Many thanks.

That is a huge difference.
Can a third person measure a stock 1200???

Quote:
i have: face measure 60mm back measure 109mm

And [the Offset tech article has]:

face measure 109mm back measure 89 mm


Open in new window


Be sure to measure with hub at standard height. Meaning if the car is jacked up and suspension drooping, the measurements will not be close.
