Rims on 240sx

Re: Rims on 240sx
whatever diameter you want w/ at least a 8 inch width anywhere from +25 to +0. Larger would be better, you can fit up to a 9 inch rim with around a +15 offset, on a stock fender...and that would look the best. PDM racing sells some wheels made specifically for S13s, aka ones that fit right. Anything more then +30 is shit unless you are running a 10 inch wide wheels.
4X114.3 is correct.

Re: Rims on 240sx
Yeah, sorry, I tried to keep the same words through out the post, but my mind wandered.
Depending on what kind of look you want 17s and 18s will look best on a S13, or 15s or 16s. Again if you want more of an "old school" look go with 15s or 16s. 17s and 18s look good too.
And just to clarify again 8/9 is for the width, for example 17X8 and 17X9 +15 and +20 (respectively) would fit amazing on a S13.

Thats a 15'' rim with a 0 offset, tires are 205/55, a better fit would have been 195/55 or 195/50. But after adjusting the front camber and rolling the fender lip they fit much better.

Re: Rims on 240sx
Just to show the difference between the different looks of the wheels:
a 15/16 example (I don't know the actual size, but if I had to guess, I'd say 15X8 +15 or 20):
Another example of smaller wheels looking good (minus the messed up fender roll - wheels are probably 15X9 +10 or something rediculous)
Here is an example of a 17/18 inch wheel (probably 18X9s +15ish - again I don't know the actual size):
Better picture of the above car:
I tried to pick a stock looking car, so you could see just the wheels rather then wheels and body kit.

Re: Rims on 240sx
What kind of wheels? If you are looking for something cost effective Rota - don't believe the hype - makes some nice 18inch wheels, but you'll need a 5 lug conversion, I think. Rota also makes a Panasport knock off in 15X8 +0 or 10 or something low, that would fit your car perfectly, and I personally like the look.
Show me the kind of wheels you're looking for and I will show you where to find them.
