Title: Datsun Wheels Needed
Post by rosswood on 09/19/10 at 05:43:40

Looking for wheels, either 14" or 15" that will fit a 1971 Datsun 240Z. They are 4 bolt and 100 mm spacing (I think).

Hi Ross, I would check Kijiji, i have been looking for 15' 5x114.3s on this site and have seen MANY of the rims you are looking for. Hope this helps some :)

Hi Ross,

The wheels are actually 4x114.3 and a 67.1 centre bore.

I have 14" wheels in stock. Do you need to borrow or buy them?

How many do you need.

Call me at the shop on Monday.

Ross, if you're still looking, I have these.

They're 15x8 with a 4x114 bolt pattern. I had them on my 86' Multi back in the day and haven't had anything to put them on since...

OK got the full scoop.

First, thanks Karol, but 8" wheels are too wide for the brand new tires that my friend already has and wants to use.

The car is a 1971 Datsun 240Z, which came with 14" wheels. Currently he has 15" wheels from an '82-'83 280Z. They fit fine, but are bent. I guess ideally he would like to find more of the same. He definitely wants to stick with 15".

Failing that he will consider any alloy wheel that is 15" x 6-7" width with a (four) bolt pattern of 114.3 mm, offset of less than +20 mm and moderate backspacing.

Here is some info:

That offset is going to be the tough one.

Too bad he wants 15 inch. I have two sets of 14 inch from my 85 Celica that I really want to get rid of. Cheap!

I've got a set of 14" wheels, 4x114 from an old school Nissan 200SX (S12 body style). They're in very good condition
