Wheel Spacers

From Datsun 1200 Technical
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Got rims with too much positive offset? Using wheel spacers may fix it. Or have rims with a different bolt pattern? Conversion spacers can fit 5-lug or other rims to the Datsun 1200.





Overview

Hub-centric means they center on the hub. Datsun 1200 uses 71mm hub registration diameter - so 66 mm hubcentric for S13 won't fit, unless the center hole of the spacer is drilled out larger.


Have them machined to 71mm center hole

For example, +30 wide wheels fit the rear fine, but need a +15 spacer on the front.

Simple Spacers

Thin spacers do not have studs, they simply fit between the hub and the wheel -- the the stock studs go through them.



Except for the thinnest 1/4" (6 mm ) spacers, longer studs are needed. Stock are M12 x 1.25 32mm long. Knurl Diameter: 13.00mm


Longer 55 mm versions (which are really long)


* NISMO 40222-A0220 [2" long/51mm] * For B110 front, 510 front * Knurl Diameter: 12.90mm


These match the NISMO but are shorter: length 45.5mm


* 40222-15C01 GC22 Van $2.12 USD each


For more choices, see Wheel Studs.

Bolt-On
