arabian_ryda Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 im in the process of doing a 16x8 front and 16x9 rear, 0 offset setup on my 1970 510 sedan. I have all my fenders rolled and rears are lightly pulled. ive been having trouble finding photos and information on a setup like this even finding a set of wheels with these specs is very hard. either its impossible or no one has done it as of yet. anyone have a setup like this or similar? stanced out datsuns shouldn't be a dime a dozen lol. lets see what setups yall running for that phat look.

r0p0doe Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 16's are a bit big in the 510 world, ideal size is 14-15 and some folks even like 13's. There are a few people who have gotten x9 in the rear without flares but it's a select few and no two people have done it the same. I wish I could help more but that's as much as I can generally touch on this subject, someone else will come in with more info... btw let us see some pics of this said datsun, we like pics around here lol 1 Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Form follows function, not the other way round. Stance, hellaflush, tuck and poke do not exist in my world. Link to comment

shacks510 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 You're going to need a little more than a fender roll and pull. Can you fit a 16x9? Absolutely. It'll require some fabrication, but it can be done. Here's a friends project. Rear wheel specs are is 18X8.5 +37 offset with 245/35-18. Flares? No. Fab? Yes. 16's are a bit big in the 510 worldWhat are you trying to say? 4 Link to comment
Laecaon Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Indy had 16x9 +15 on the rear of Ruby. He notched his control arms, and lots of camber. No flares, and on a 4dr. Link to comment

Your friends car looks good :) anything bigger than 15s is considered "big" or "too big" to people. Link to comment
shacks510 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Make the rims fit the car NOT the car fit the rims.I agree to an extent. Making precise modifications and 'doing it right' to make the wheels fit is one thing. Hacking the fenders with a sawzall and beating them with a hammer and using self tapping screws to fix the shitty bolt on flares that weren't made for the car, isn't ok. Red car above looks factory to the average person. 1 Link to comment

I had to hammer the 'bump' inside the fender lip ... you can see threads where people cut out that bump (like Just Joel's red wagon thread) that bump is the door jam ... I had a really hard time fitting 16x9 +15, with stretched tires, heavily rolled fenders, notched control arms, and stock camber 5 Link to comment

I had a really hard time fitting 16x9 +15, with stretched tires, heavily rolled fenders, notched control arms, and stock camber i have that inner bump smoothed out already. did it when we originally did the body work back in 2005. now i want to ask did you have a problem with the lip of the rim hitting the inside lip of the fender or did you have problems with the rim hitting the inner tub of the door jam.? if i can clear my fender lip im all good.

It's an inch smaller than you want to run but I know a guy runing 15x8.5 front and 15x9.5 rear but it's 2dr that's as good as it gets before you have to do all kinds of crazy hacking to your dime Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 15x7=easy fit 15x8=minor work fit 16x9=a shit ton of work. 2 Link to comment

It's going to be a really tight fit, if it fits at all. The rim lip was hitting the hammered 'bump', and the 225/40 tires were almost hitting the fender lip a 16x9 +10 'might' fit .. I couldn't drive on the 16x9 +15, because the rim lip hit the inner shock towers/wheel wells, and the control arms too .. a 10" wide rim would be impossible without flares (due to the rear shock towers and wheel wells) Link to comment

arabian_ryda Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I just got the wheels in the mail. they look bad ass. I wont be able to test fit until the spring time however. got too much shit in the garage and no heat plus bmw sleeping in there too. so ill keep you guys posted once I have them fitted. im gonna super stretch some tires in the rear and get some heavy springs and see if we can make it work. if not plan b will come into affect lol.
