Hello, after a bit of searching, I came up with no definite answer. I'm getting a set of xxr 962's with 17x7*f 17x9*r with +40*f +35*r offset. I have a 95 SE with no suspension mods, I'd really like to get a 255 in the rear without rolling. Is it possible, and whats the biggest size I can squeeze in the front? I'm also interested in the xxr 526 rims, if any tire gurus are on here I'd appreciate the advice. Thanks

A 7 inch wide wheel has no place on a 240sx.

Go with 17x9+35 with 15mm spacers all around. 235/40 up front. 255/40 rears.

Even better would be to pick 17x9 wheels that don't need spacers.

See my sig (above) if you need suggestions.
