LUIS COLCHETE Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi! I have Datsun B110 2dr Sedan year 1973 with original body, supensions,and brakes I want to buy new 13*6 or 13*5,5 with 175/60 tyres. Please advise me which offset i need. The only thing i want is remove de old 12" ones and put it in new whells with any changes. If is possible i want the same offset for all of them. Many thanks on advance Luis Colchete Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Your stock rims should be 4" wide and a 6.00 x 12 tire (or 155R12) In a 13" tire size that is the same height so that speedo and performance is not affected AND in the 60 series range isn't do able. The narrowest in 13" at the same height are 165/70R13 at 6.5" wide. Anything else goes wider. A175/60R13 is 3/4" shorter or less tall and almost 7" wide. (almost twice the stock tire size) Your speedometer will be affected and read higher that you are actually going. We haven't even got to rims and the off set yet. Quote Link to comment

510T Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 http://www.willtheyfit.com This website is a very nice calculator that helps you choose new wheels based on your current wheels' measurements. It even calculates tire size and stretch. Quite handy. Good luck and post a picture when you get the wheels :) Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Anybody knows the official measures for Datsun 1200 B110 Many thanks on advance Luis Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I had to argue with Minilite when I ordered mine. They wanted me to get a 13x5 with +25mm backspace. (I think it was close to that) I told them to use my measurements, and they fit just fine. I have never measured according to your chart, but a 13x6 with +23mm will not work. My tires are pretty close to the front struts, and anything with more offset will need spacers. (And probably longer wheel studs) Again, my car has disc brakes and is NOT lowered. I will try to get some photos for you tomorrow if I have time. I have a very busy afternoon. Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hi So am i. They advise me 13*6 +23mm offset but in my opinion dont fit. in my math: overall rim 7"=177.80mm centerline=88.90 bacspace 111.90mm need spacers. frontspace 65.90 offset +8 mm backspace 97mm frontspace 80.90mm ,offset+12mm backspace 100.90 fits ok? frontspace 76.90 maybe must pull the fenders offset +16mm backspace 105mm too much closer frontspace 72.90 Im in trouble, tommorrow i will take measures When it possible send me some pictures and if you have any measures too. Im confused and. Im affraid to buy wrong wheels, im in Portugal and i will buy them in England. I dont know if the suspension of your car is the equal as mine. but i think is similiar. Many thanks on advance Luis Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Here is a general front view. The tires are 175/60/13. The tire sits in the wheel well nicely. The outer edge of the tire is just inside the wheel well. Here is the tire inside next to the strut. It's hard to take a good photo from this angle, but you can see the strut is pretty close to the tire. There isn't much room for more positive offset. At the top of the tire, I would guess the clearance is about .250" (I can not put a finger between the strut and the top of the tire) The clearance here is fine, but it is close. This is looking down on the front tire from the top. Same photo of the rear tire. Quote Link to comment
