Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

I am sure this has been on topic before, my search didn't yield the answers I was looking for. I have a 1969 Roadster, I want to purchase a 16x7 Rota RB, I prefer the look of the 16" wheel in relation of the higher windshield plus a greater availability of tires. I just don't know what offset. The vendor has a 22, 10 or 4 offset.

Thanks.

Alexi!
Wow it's been awhile!

Back into roadsters???


+10 will work, with the right tire size

Here is the Rota thread, and a direct link to Michael's (Unholy) fitment of 16x7 +10 wheels to his roadster:

Hey Alvin!

yeah, you could say I'm back. I bought my 1969 Roadster back from Eric in August and I just bought Herb's roadster this week. Thanks for the thread, I will look it up.

I'm running a staggered 6&7 setup with the RBs. F&R +20 (15s but never mind that, 16s with proportionately proper tires will net same width result maintaining diameter, e.g. from my 195/55s "down" to 195/50s will be very close)

I note on that thread (or the other post linked from that page) that I could have easily have gone to a lower offset wheel on the rear so you can visualize it.

+22

thanks for the info, I was planning on running a 195 or 205 tire.
