96-97 Hadrbody wheels on a 320

Post by **IMH** » Wed Dec 31, 1969 5:00 pm

I decided to try something different for a while. These are 1996-97 Nissan Hardbody wheels. In order to fit them on a 320 I had some 2" spacers made since none of the commercially available ones had 7/16 studs like the 320.

The wheels look nice.....heck...the whole rig looks really nice!

I just noticed your mirror....any close up pics or details on it's mounting?

There's actually two mirrors, one on each side. I bought those at JC Whitney about 25 years ago. They're mounted with flush allen head bolts through the pillar.

I thought maybe they were a clamp on of some sort. The NL has chrome pilars and window channels, so I don't want to drill any holes. Thanks.

The previous owner had already drilled a hole in the driver's side though I don't know what for. Since one side was already drilled, it didn't bother me quite as much to drill the other.

I wanna know about the center caps on the wheels. Where did ya get them thar Datsun decals?

If mine were painted, I'd drill them in a heartbeat....easy to weld up and repaint.....but having them rechromed makes it not worth it.

[/quote]Sorry, I comletely missed this question. The center caps are the ones that go with the wheels. I made the Datsun stickers on a pc linked Brother P-Touch labelmaker in a size the just fits over the word 'Nissan'.
