Steel Wheels

[csp311]

Hey, does anyone know if there are any other common cars that can donate 14inch steel wheels to use on a 240 Z with the orig hubcaps?

Thanks for your help

I think Toyota may have used the same bolt pattern for a while.

I thought all Datsuns of the day (510, 610, Pickup, etc.), all used the same steel wheels?

510s and 610s were 13"/pickups were 6 bolt......

Thanks for the correction! I didn't know. I guess I'd better snap up a set of steel wheels, while I can find them, just to have a set.

You can always have some steel wheels made. In the USA they're popular with the circle track crowd. Not sure how available they are in AU.

Sometimes you'll see Corvair rims on 510s.

Datsun Roadster ones are the same as early 204z...i think?

It is the same bolt pattern but not the same wheel, close though. The wheel covers from a Z "might" work on a Roadster wheel. I can check for sure later. The wheel from a Roadster will have 3 balls welded to the inner ring for the 'baby moons' to snap over. Here is one of each.

I stand corrected. Went out and looked, both are the same except for the Roadster has mounting tabs, (not the balls) for the 'hub caps', the 240Z wheel covers will fit.

Cheers for that, and the Roadster ones are the same size as orig 240 z....14x4.5?

I believe the roadster have another offset, not 100% sure, if you have a CSP311, you could try one of those.

The rims on the 68 Roadster are the same width, bolt pattern and offset as an early 240Z. 14X4.5.
