Will S13 wheels fit on a 1200 with the standard suspension without using spacers?

I agree, the front wheel drive type of offset makes them it on the strut tube.

If you want to get creative with new brakes and mix/match hubs, it could be done.

The s13 silvia/180sx is rwd so I would of thought they would of fit without need of stanza struts or spacers etc.

Would 120y struts fix the problem without using spacers or would I have to go with stanza struts?

stanza struts would help but probably need spacers still. Just get different wheels (yes boof it finaly sunk in) with a better offset.

aftermarket s13 wheels have a bit more dish (neg offset than the stock ones)

Datsun_Racing there is nothing wrong with using spacers if you have standard front brakes. if you can get the rims why not make your datto look hot with a nice set of weels.

Just make sure the spacers arnt too thick so the weel nuts get enought thread to hold on. Now if you have some power under the hood then its best to first upgrade the brakes for stopping power and then lots of weels will fit with ease and no spacers.

Also keep in mind there are a few guys here that use spacers with all sorts of rims and some with CA turbo power too.

Hey mate, i have a set that i bought for my 1200 ute but the foul on the rear spring and they won't clear my front brakes by the looks of it, if you are interested i'd be keen to offload them with the complete SR20 S13 brake package i have... just a thought
