Alloy wheels from Datsun 910 "Bluebird Series II" Australia TRX package work nicely on a Datsun 1200. They are 15" wheels, 5.5" (or 6") wide, offset +35.

Overview

TRX wheels appear to be identical to the Cheviot Mirage

TRX wheels require spacers to work on a 1200.

This 1200 has flaring to accomodate 195/50R15 tyres

Spacers

TRX wheels will need spacers before your car can even roll in a straight line.

TRX wheels require spacers to work on a 1200. 8mm spacers work POST with 1200/120Y struts and 195-width tyres. POST 5mm spacer are not enough. Possibly 175/55SR15 may fit without spacers.

Tyre Size

The limiting factor to fit in the wheelwell is 1) tyre width and 2) tyre diameter. That means 15" tyres work fine if they not too wide and not too tall. If the wheel have an appropriate offset the tyres will fit fine.

POST dodgeman: The 15" TRX rims are 5-1/2" wide, which is a good width for our cars, but you need a tyre with an outside diameter of something very similar to the original size in order to avoid clearance problems under the front of the car.

original size: 155SR12 (21.8"/554mm diameter)]

The 185 width is a good size for both a 5-1/2" wide rim & for the car, so in order to get a 185 tyre in a 15" rim fitment, that comes close to about 550mm to 555mm diameter, the calculator says it needs to be 185x45x15 & this results in an OD of almost 550mm. I don't know if this size even exists, but if it did, i don't think it would be particularly cheap.

[185/55R15 at Tirerack.com are 23"/584mm diameter]

Another alternative would be 175x50x15 which gives us 556mm, but once again, i don't know if that size even exists.

175/55R15 are 22.6"/577mm diameter]

The most cost effective, & practical size is a 185x60x13 tyre on a 5" or 5-1/2 rim for front use. Anything wider usually means that you have clearance issues as there is not a real lot of room in there. This tyre size is readily available & very reasonably priced.

Taller/wider tyres may require:

Wider than 195 requires:

  • Flares
  • extra thickness on the wheel spacer

Taller tyres need:

  • Speedometer Calibration to restore accuracy
  • To regain stock acceleration, a steeper diff gear to compensate. On the other hand if you can live with more leisurely acceleration, you'll find that on the higway, taller tyres give better fuel economy and lower noise (lower engine RPM)

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.

Wheel Nuts

TRX wheels use a taper-seat nut. About 7$ each from Nissan, or $3 each from aftermarket sources. Can be purchased at wheel shops too.

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
