I was looking to buy some A-tech wheels pretty soon. I have a 95 240sx se lowered 2 inches around on sportlines and kyb struts. for the front i was going to buy 17x8 +28, and the back i was gonna do 17x9 +27. They also offer 17x9 +17 and i know that would take some work to fit them but what would be required?

As far as tires i was gonna go 225/45/17 on the front and 245/45/17 on the rear.

Any input would be appreciated and let me know what changes i need to make so they will fit nicely. thanks a bunch

Just do 17x9 +27 all the way around if you just want to put them on and drive, I am not a huge fan of staggered wheels which is why I have 9 all the way around.

17x9 +17 is an easy *** fit in a S14. My S14 was lowered about 2in and I had 17x9+15 on with -2 degrees camber stock fenders.

All you need to fit the +17's are roll the fenders (maybe yank out the fender linings).Also get 235-40F 245-40R, 225-45 is a bit tall

I'd stick with the 17x9 all around. Either the +27 or the +17 would fit, the +17 would require a fender roll and a little negative camber (not excessive). I'd run a 235/45 personally, that's what I'm running on my 17x9's. It's just a slight stretch, again nothing excessive. Looks good and clears fenders without looking like a mad tyte drifter stretch.

Sorry to dig up the thread... But i'm SERIOUSLY ready to buy rims this time lol. You guys say 17x9 +17 is not a problem at all. But I read in another post this guy had 17x9 +27 and it rubbed sometimes. Now I don't mind the look of a fender roll but I don't have the tools and I'm not sure where I could get it done around here so I would prefer to not have to.

I'm lowered with kyb-gr2s and sportlines. So i'm sure I have some negative camber and I know that effects fitment. Last time I will ask about this promise

HELP ME PICK THE BEST FITTING RIMS!!

Make sure people are talking about on s13 or s14. s14 wheel wells are bigger, so...

That makes sense. I think the guy with the rubbing wheels drove an s13.
