Can anyone tell me the standard Road Wheel offset for a datto 1600, 240K, 260Z and C210 Skyline is ?
Either the factory offset (as stamped on the wheel) or simply the measurement from the face of the hub to the inner lip of the wheel rim.
I have a beaut set of wheels stamped Offset 26mm (measured 127mm) and although they fit a "K" they appear not to fit a 1600.
Any ideas what a 127mm offset might fit (Toyota??, R32/33??, 180SX??)

Regards :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

I think you are mixing up two different specs.
OFFSET is the distance from the inside wheel mounting flange to the geometric centre of the wheel and can be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE in value.
As a result of the above there is also BACKSPACING, the distance from the wheel mounting flange to the inside tyre mounting bead.

So, the backspacing can vary with a constant offset because of various rim widths :?

Anyhoo, a 6" (152mm) wide rim, with a 30mm positive offset, will have a backspacing of 106mm [(152/2)+30], JUST enough to allow a 205/50 x 15" tyre to clear a 200B strut in a 1600 :wink:

what is the size of the rim?
height and width.

stocky 13x5 is roughly +35mm offset.

they sound like theyd fit, if you are measuring from the back like nissanman said.

Have you tried them on yet?...

The 240/260 have around zero offset.
