The 19s look waaay too big. 7.5+35 is what my 4 lug rims are, car looked pretty decent, not overly sunken, but I could still see it. ---

19s no matter what the body of the car sits too high, they would only look good if you cut out the fenders and the rear quaters an extra inch or so to set the body down around them better, but in the front thats huge frame problems. It would look sweet finished though. Either that or 1mm thick tires, but that would look plain stupid. I wonder if its possible to put bicycle wheels on a 240. i bet it would handle pretty sweet ---

> Wheels > > Our original 5Zigen FN01R forged wheel setup was 17x8" +38 in the front, and 17x8.5" +30 in the rear, but because the wheels were made for the front of a staggered setup they had a very “high disk” setup with almost no lip on the wheel. We opted to order two 5Zigen FN01R in a 17x9" +38mm offset setup, which yielded a considerable lip on the forged wheel and gave our rear wheel drive car a more muscular stance. We moved the 17x8.5" wheels to the front of the car, and ditched the 17x8" wheels. Tire sizes were changed to 215/45-17 in the front and 235/45-17 in the rear, using the same Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tires we had previously. > [nissanperformancemag.com](http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/february04/240sx/) this is what i read from the website , is the set up 17x8" +38 in the front, and 17x8.5" +30 in the rear recommand by u guys ,or the second set up 17x8.5" wheels to the front and 17x9" +38mm in the rear?? i mean plug and play , with out pulling anythings or rubbering 😛 sorry for bad english and noob qustion :oops: ---

Now lets talk about what DOES work FRONT 17x9 +20 REAR 17x9 +20 So there you have it… you get 17x8 then make sure u compensate for it with better offset = +10… Please note, that you WILL have to roll your front and rear fenders. ---

I have always thought that sizing one up from stock will make the car look good without hurting the handeling (ride comfort, control ect). So for s13 I would go with a 16" wheel and for s14 I would use a 17" wheel. Spacers are not somthing I like or would enjoy using. If I buy wheels they are going to be about 17x8 front and 17x9 rear offsets will be low I would have to determine what would make them flush. ---

I have 7’’ fronts and 8’’ rears… and I dont mind the 8’’ rears but the 7’’ up front isnt wide enough and I also do not like the idea of using a spacer. So I need to buy new rims or put the 8s up front and buy two 9s for the rear and I dont want to know what two brand new 16 x 9 te37s are worth and then im also left with two 16 x 7s… lol. ---
