Stock B210 is 155SR13 width unknown but the rim was 4.5" wide with 24" tall tires.

 

Stock 1200 tire is 600:12 or in today's tires 155/80R X12 or roughly 22" tall and 6.3 wide on a 4" rim.

 

 

Going to a smaller diameter will increase acceleration, but throw the speedometer off. If running a 3.9 diff at 3,000 that's 54MPH with the 1200 rims and tires on you will only be going 50MPH even though it reads 54.

 

 

I think they will fit.

 

Put them on! Let the car down slowly. You tell us.

I love it when you throw numbers around, Mike. You've got one of those engineering kind of brains. Lucky! I never would have even considered that aspect of things. Damn good info to know.

 

And you know I'm putting those suckers on there! Faster acceleration... Woo hoo!

You MAY have an issue with the calipers not fitting inside the rim/wheel on the front.  I put 12" wheels on a 79 210 so I could roll it around. I will have to look and see if I took off the calipers....can't remember for sure.

 

EDIT: 04/10/18. Looked at this yesterday, car has no rotors.

 

 

EDIT EDIT: You should send those wheels to me. :poke:

If they don't fit or look funny (not in a good way) I'll definitely put them up for sale. You got first dibs. :)
