New Zealand Datsun Club

have just purchased 13x7 wheels to suit my car,
however i dont really want to roll my guards or bolt on flares if i can help it, is there a tyre that will work with this situation??

for obvious reasons i cant test any out on my car in its current state but maybe someone on here is running a similar setup/ the setup i want?

any info would be greatly appreciated.

First things first you will need to get the struts you intend on using to set them up, Also the offest of the wheels will affect how far out they stick. Then if al thats sweet then you can work out tires.
Im running 280ZX struts with B310 arms and modified Camber tops and with rolled guards i can only just fit my 13x7 wheels in my 1200

ok, so i will pretend to understand......
the fancy parts you mentioned in my 1200 is all standard........ im guessing. as for wheel offset..... i have no idea what that even means, hence why i need everyones help with such things.

these are the wheels......

Get some smaller tyres those big ballons wont be helping.

didnt get the tyres....... too balloony

The offset is zero! Is this good or bad?

It depends on your car whether the offset is good or bad. That sounds about right though you dont want the tyres tucked way under the guards (positive offset) or way out (negative offset). How much do they poke out by? What size are your tyres? Smaller narrower tyres wont poke out so much.

back in town this week, so I can look at your wheel situation when I look at the rust, it will all come down to offset of the wheel, the cars stance ie how low you want to go etc

only have rims...... well..... waiting on the rims to arrive at my house...... but i need tyres for them....... and dont want flares.......

when you come visit, you will know how big an issue it will all be.

my coupe suspention is standard and i have a 7" rim on the rear +5 off set and on the front 6.5" 0 offset.
i have standard guards and clearence is tight but i have got tyres to make it work.
i had my 7" rim on the front and with standard suspention it stuck out too far.
