Posted July 19, 20177 yr comment_526120 Cody's 510 has these wheels on it. They are 195/70- R14. I don't know how wide the rims are...when he turns too hard they scrub on the frame rails. We would like to replace these wheels with something else, but I need some help finding the right size. We are leaning towards a Panasport type wheel. I have searched at the "Realm" and read the FAQ thread. Now I need some of the resident experts help @zKars By the way, what do you all think of the new color? The whole car is going over to the orange, one panel at a time... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58158-72-510-wagon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 20, 20177 yr comment_526168 Regarding the rubbing problem, check if the steering stop bolts on the steering knuckles are missing or mis-adjusted. This is something the Z crowd don't have to think about. Generally 510's need + offset wheels to keep the rubber under the fenders. +35's are not uncommon. I have a set of panasport's with +6 or 9 offset and they barely keep 195-55 15's inside the lips.

July 22, 20177 yr Author comment_526353 @zKars On your 195-55 15's, how much clearance do you have between the tire tread and the floor board. We are rubbing right there. The 70 aspects are 20mm closer to the floor board than a 60 would be Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58158-72-510-wagon/#findComment-526353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 23, 20177 yr comment_526366 Not much at all. Pretty much nothing. There is a seam that sticks out a bit that gets it first, I could grind a bit of it off and help things. I can adjust in some more castor and help a bit too. Only running +2 degrees at the moment Edited July 23, 20177 yr by zKars Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58158-72-510-wagon/#findComment-526366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
