So i've been looking at some rims, and i want to see how 16's look on a 240 lowered on some springs (not coilovers). i can't find any pictures on the internet so i was wondering if any of you guys owned a 240 with 16's and lowered on some s-techs or something of that sort.

I'm not an offset pro but the rims that I've had on my 240s were no less than 30, and they fit flush fine. 38 would be sunken, but for 8" rims I thought 35 would work. Dunno, I'm not talking about skateboarding it. Remember negative offset daytons? That was me, in high school, in a sentra, rollin on gold and chrome d's with low pros...hahaha Whitecomet, so 10 offset would sit about where in the wheel well? Need to roll the fenders for that?

they'll fit perfectly and u might need a roll depending on camber and other variables

That's AxelGrungy's car. Give credit.. also those are 15's anyway... Konig Rewinds.

I have 16's on my car. See signature. Yokota also started a thread at the top of this form with photos of wheels/fitment and tires. Check it out.

Ok, so I've seen people talk about how they're called wheels instead of rims. Can somebody please explain the difference, I've been calling aftermarket wheels rims for the last 20 years.
