hey guys what are some good offsets for a 240sx
my advans have 35+ but i was wondering if a 42+ would be ok
sunken battle shippssss…!!! :E
DON’T DO IT!! YOUR MOTHER WILL EVEN HATE IT
how wide of a wheel are you looking for?
42+ offset is 18x7.5
35+ is 17x7
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :anal
if we switch around some numbers… 17x8.5 +24…now that’s a lot better:lol:
Mmmmmm
17x9 +20’s to +25’s work
17x10 +25-+35 work
if you are lookin to fit under stock fenders…dont fit them like honda owners do!
8j +32, +38 9-j +25, -20… or 8.5j 9.5j… strech tires to fit in wheel well, if rims stick out!
17X 8.5+30
17X10+18
?
i have some pics of 17X9 +35 and 17X9 +20, and the +35 fits fine, but i hear there’s coilover clearance issues. people running coilovers put in a 10mm spacer in the back.
now on the other hand, running a 17X9 +20 will run you into some rubbing of the fender. you either do a little pull, raise it a bit or add some camber. both are with 245/40/17 tires.
that would be the culprit. nothing some 215’s or 225’s couldn’ fix
+42 is big fail
0 offset ftw

on a 17X9? noooo way. 255 is what’s supposed to be on there, and i’ve seen 235 on a 9J and it looks like :butthead:
Why does everyone buy such a wide rim they stick a honda tire on it???
but minimun tire sizes
10-255
9-235
8-225.
But yea 35 offset on wide rims are ok but you really want less than 30
im pretty sure jack was running my rims with coilovers on his car before i bought them, and they are 9s +35 in the back with a 255 and he didnt have problems…
from son240sx
yeah but they wont fit on the front unless you run at least a 10mm spacer, thats what i ran front and rear. It made them +25

check page 4 i think, thats my old cardomain page.[/quote]
edit: i guess my post earlier was partly incorrect. rears fit but fronts do not.

get with the JDM program son! a 215 on a 9j rim is a good fit 225 or 235max…but 255 is just thorwing your money away… :nay:
Some people like the traction program. More power, more tire, more traction. There is other purposes for an S13 than drifting.
i’m sure saving $10-15/tire will help you in the long run if you’re drifting alot. 
i’d rather have the grip and a tire that doesn’t look silly being super stretched on a rim like that. :shrug:
Preach brotha preach!!!
It all depends on what you want from your car. I read a write-up somewhere about how the handling dynamics change when using wide wheels and narrow tires vs. narrow wheels and wider tires. I don’t remember what it all said ( so someone find it! ), but as I remember, the general idea was that tires with some stretch will give better response and quicker turn in, but obviously have less overall grip.
