Shant,

Thanks for adding the details about your skirts and flares. Did you document the process of putting them on? and pictures? Provide details on your suspension if you would. Stock rear end or modified? What's your tire dimensions?

stock rear end with stock leaf springs
Im using datsunparts.com front springs

I didnt document anything but its almost the same as the 240z flare installation. There is a write up on classicdatsun.com for the 240z. that's what i used to get an idea of what i needed to do.

Shant,

I've got the same suspension setup. I'm guessing I have to get my wheels 1st and then see what type of flares I need to get 2nd. Thanks for providing the info.

Must be nice for that new motor you've got to have some real rubber on the pavement. The car looks beefy now.

Shant,
I like the fitment up front! Looks like you could go even wider in back..maybe some spacers? I agree with Roman looks tough

Looks fast sitting still!

I would be careful going any wider in the rear without a Panhard.. Those flares look too good to tear off the car while cornering..

So I sent you a pm about the flares and then I found this post..so ya never mind the pm.

Love the car wheels look great
Thanks
Matthew

Thanks for the nice comments guys . Alvin I agree with you there is some gap that needs to be closed. I'm already using 1 inch spacer on the rear, First im going to try going with wider tires. If that don't fill the gap then I'll purchase the same wheel in the 15x9 size. I also agree with Mike as the rear end is kinda sloppy and soft.

So in the two pictures in this thread you're using 1" spacers in the rear? Is it a stock Datsun roadster rear end? Have you installed longer wheel studs? It's sitting on stock leaf springs, correct?

Anything in the front? or is it all stock except for your Datsunparts.com lowing springs?
