240sx rim offset question

[mm_ibrahim412]

Hey I am a fellow member on NICO. Ok I have 20mm silvia conversion fenders in the front and 50mm overfenders in the rear. I am running kyb shocks with eibach springs. I want yo know what rim size i should look for to fill up the bubble im going to have in the rear and the front as well. You think zero or negative offsets are needed? Because i bought 18x8.5 for the front and 18x9.5 in the rear and both have +35 offsets. I thought i could fill them with H and R spacers but that was definitely the wrong way to go. Please advise. Thanks for your help. got my flame suit on so im ready for the heat

Let's see, with the rear, you're gonna need about 65mm of spacers to flush those out, and with the front you'll need around 45mm of spacers. Have fun.

lol oh boy.

Why would you want to run spacers of that magnitude anyway?

I'd advise you to sell those wheels and get a new set that has lower offset, but yu may disagree.

Running studs/spacers that are that long is not the best way to go in my opinion.

for real, 65MM is a pretty big spacer, yes i would recommend selling the rims and buying better fitting ones

at least you never drove them right?

i didnt want to buy 16"s but would they fill up the wheel gap good?

i had 17"s on my 180sx and they fit flush all around.

so in other words, the best guidline is to always get below 20mm offset?

well thank you
