Can someone tell me if I can run these wheels, 13X7.5 or it's too small? Can I run the 14X5 Volk or too small as well? I need to know. If they will fit a '66 1600, I will buy them. Any advices appreciated. Thanks.

13" wheels will not clear the calipers without modifications. 7.5" wide is a bit too wide for the cars without mods as well. The 14x5 has promise depending on the offset and bolt pattern.

Where is Tucker, Ga?

I'm afraid the volks will be a difficult fit. I've research a bit over the past few years. Unfortunately, Ray's doesn't offer a roadster friendly wheel. The 14 X 5 are offered with a +35 or +45 offset. both of which are very FWD fitments.

The closest, and would be very acceptable is the 14X6.5 @ +15 BUT! that one is only offered in 4 X 100 PCD. I would not even think of trying to redrill to 4 X 114.3, as Ray's makes these forgings as light as possible, and you might compromise doing what you could easily with a beefier wheel.

Thanks Victor. I buy the Volk for my Civic anyway. The deal was too good to pass on. How did you know I was thinking about redrilling the Volk to fit the Datsun?

. I guess I'll keep looking for a set of wheels for the Datsun.

Tucker is on the NE side of atlanta, just outside 285...just like the rest of us up the corridor.

so that's about 4 is it? just on the NE corner.
