1997 240 and some 5zigen's NEED OPINIONS

[EH240SX97']

Ok i have the car pictured below. I was looking at the FNO1RC in the tune of a 17x10 in the rear and 17x9 in the front. Can anyone give me links, advice, ect. for perferable black with a polished lip. Can this combo work with the right offset and what would that offset be.

splparts.com is offering the black with polished lip

the 9's up front need the +15 offset to clear the struts (also will clear coilovers) this will make the wheel stick out slight though.

10 with a +35 will work in the rear (may stick out very slighlty

8 front and 9 rear is a better combo with the offsets 5zigen makes in these rims

check out my links to see the 17x9 +43 rear and 17x8 +25 front on my car. one pic on ka-t.org where im not slammed to the ground is the 8 +35 that i am going back to

here is a pic of the car today now on sportlines and tokicos 19x9 rear +43 with 275/40/17



camber still is a lil postive, will work well when the car squats tho

my advice ---

17x9 +15 front17x10 +12 or +25 if you wimp out on it. I got the +25, i wish they were +12. actually i wish i had bought different wheels. but thats beside the point.

stay away from black face with polished lip, black face with polished lip is so played out, its freakin lame. especially on a 1 piece wheel with a fake lip. get them in silver if you must get fns. not bronze or black. silver.

silver.

youll want to roll your fenders if you plan to lower you car at all, and might as well pull them a little bit while your renting the roller anyway. this is why the +12s will be cool. you can get a little flared look going on the rear end of your car without too much trouble, and the +12s will sit nice and flush.

the front, 10 +12 is possible to run, if you want to have the same wheel face on all 4 corners, but you gotta run about 3 camber and pull the fenders a little to clear it. harder to pull the front fenders properly, since it starts to pull away from the door if you do it too much.

cliffsnotes- if you gotta get fns get 17x9 +15 17x10 +12 in silver. if you can, save your money for a little longer and get some truly pimp wheels. instead of some "ok" wheels.

thats a 19? looks like a 17 or somthing. you should loose that hood liner, get some stick on frp eyeliners if you cant stand zenki headlights, but i think it would look better with just plain zenki. also take out the grill. and hit your bumper up with a red sharpie or touch up paint, will look way better than just cracked up fiberglass.
