The backspace for a stock wheel is 3.5". The backspace for this wheel is 4".

TR6: It does look like the backspace could be an issue, especially if you had to do some cutting with a 6" wheel, and most of the aftermarket Datsun wheels are 7" or more.

Thanks for the info.
 
kodanja, I will post some follow-up pic of my wheels. If these don't work for me, I will probably have my stock wheels trued. Thanks for passing along the e-bay listing.

I just found out (never knew this before) that if you have a click-type torque wrench like the ones that Sears sell, they must be turned down to zero when you store them. If you leave them dialed to a settings the spring inside will stretch and they will become inaccurate over time.

Actually, you should turn a click-type torque wrench down to the lowest setting of its range when not in use, not to zero. You should never turn a torque wrench below the lowest setting or above the highest setting of its range.

My Lab Aide at work used to keep the click-types in his desk and issue them to students when they needed them. He always looked to see that they turned them down to the bottom of the range when they turned them in.

Woe to any student that didn't turn a wrench down before turning it in!
 
So for a 20-150 range wrench, you turn it to 20. Right?

You got me again!. I turn it all the way down to relative zero ... which is 20, the lowest setting on the scale! HA!

If I'd taken shop in school (something I always wish now that I had done), then I'd know (sooner).
