Overview

Discussion: will trx 15"rims fit straight onto 1200 ute without flaring?

"If I see another 1200 with TRX rims I'm 
going to smack you across the face!"

On standard Datsun 1200 struts they will require fairly low profile tyres, and quite large spacers for the front and it will need to stay at standard height. Even then you might find they are a tight fit and might grab the guard a bit if you hit any speed humps too quick or take corners quick.

If it is lowered at all you will need to roll the guards for sure!

With Stanza and other similar struts they fit no problem with 195/50R15 tyres and will only need to cut the front bottom corner out of the front guards for clearance when turning.

With Sunny (B310) struts on front and 195/50R15 tyres, it requires to roll all the guard lips, and run spacers on rear as they were scrubbing the inner guard and on all wheel arches the sharp lip all around the guard was tearing into the tyre slightly so rolled it right up.

Also TRX different style?

Wheel Nuts

TRX wheels use a taper-seat nut.

There is 2 different types of trx wheels (series 1,2 + series 3). There is a extra small lip on the inside of the stud holes on series 3 and so the nuts differ a little
