Datsun 510
The Datsun 510 came from the factory with 13x4.5" steel wheels wearing basic hubcaps, running a 4x114.3mm bolt pattern with around +20mm offset. Some later models and higher trims got slightly wider 13x5" wheels, but the bolt pattern and basic steel construction stayed consistent throughout the run. These narrow factory wheels were functional but pretty underwhelming compared to what the chassis could handle.
VTO's vintage aluminum wheels are perfect upgrades for the 510, with our 4x114.3mm bolt pattern matching your factory setup perfectly. Popular sizes include 13x6", 14x6", and 15x6" for that period-correct look, or step up to 15x7" or 15x8" if you want more tire contact patch. Our offset range from -7mm to +38mm gives you plenty of options to dial in the perfect stance without clearance issues.
The 510 is basically the car that put Datsun on the map in America, earning a reputation as the "poor man's BMW 2002" with its lightweight body, independent rear suspension, and legendary reliability. These cars dominated SCCA road racing in the '70s and remain highly sought after today for their perfect balance of affordability and performance potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What's the factory bolt pattern on a Datsun 510? | The Datsun 510 uses a 4x114.3mm bolt pattern from the factory. VTO Wheels offers this exact bolt pattern in our vintage aluminum wheel lineup, so you'll have perfect fitment without any adapters needed. |
| What VTO Wheels sizes fit my Datsun 510? | For stock replacement, our 13x5.5" or 13x6" wheels work great. Popular upgrades include 14x6", 15x6", 15x7", and 15x8" sizes. All of these are available in the 4x114.3mm bolt pattern your 510 needs. |
| Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my 510? | Most likely yes. The Datsun 510 has a smaller center bore than our wheels, so hub-centric rings ensure proper centering and eliminate vibration. We can help you determine the correct ring size when you place your order. |
