Finally someone else on the list agrees with me why if you want your 1600 to
handle half decently, the last wheels you should use are the TRX 15x5.5"
mags. The best wheel for handling on a 1600 are around 100mm - 115mm
backspaced, just like Nissan designed the suspension geometry to use in the
first place, they even got it pretty right too in the '60's.

Malcom,
I had the same problem but it turned out to be the rim offset resulting in
excessive scrub radius, not the rim diameter. If you take a line from the
strut pivot point through the ball joint and project the line to the road
surface that is where the tyre centre should be in contact with the road (
0 scrub radius). The Bluebird (910) uses negative scrub radius (tyre centre
inside the contact line).
Cheers
Feral Errol

Before buying some try them .
Most people I have talked to with 1600 with 15",16" hate them,ride is
too hard,and at speed they wander.
But that my also be their setup,each is different
