Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

I thought by my buying my roadster "built" already, that would prevent me from traveling down the mod rabbit hole.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzttttttt! Wrong!!



Was trying to get a price quote on Minilites (real ones) and the distributor sent me a nice note saying "We'll get you a quote as fast as we can! Thank you for your inquiry."

Two weeks ago.

So just grabbed this set of Rota RBs 15x6, 15x7 +20 <===offset decided upon after studying literally hundreds of pics. Just wanted a conservative fit for the 195/55 Star Spec 1s. (Local, used with 6-7/32nds on them - didn't care about the date codes as, if my wheel fetish for my Zs is any indication, I'll probably end up swapping these out in a few months. Hahahaha!)

Why aren't they ON the car yet? Wellllll, waiting for my nuts.

Those are going to look nice!

Thanks, buddy, appreciate it!

But ya, out of bed at 6am *ON A SATURDAY*??

Man on a mission.

What's really stupid is that I have gone through (bought-used-sold) over 20 sets of wheels in the last few years. And still I get excited when they arrive and can't sleep until they're on.

FTR, the caps fit fine (problematic with the short/small caps). I just haven't put them on yet.

Also, on fit, I could have easily gone with the +12 rear offset (instead of the +20 on the rear 15x7) as I first considered but I'm OK with it and I still have enough stud anchoring material to go with 5mm spacers if it might help the handling. Will run as is for now and assess.

Front fit is excellent; the one thing I don't like is having any wheel poke and this offset/size avoids that. Could have even gone 7" as I've seen many do but I'm vary wary of scrub radius changes affecting steering response - of which I will happily trade ultimate grip with for high steering response! So, the 6" are perfect. Again, will run and possibly experiment down the road. (No pun...

Much better than the slotted mags! That's a good looking ride there.
