i might just have to run 17x9 all around... and get a +35.. but i would really like +25.. i like the way the back wheel looks.. i wonder if the 17x9 + 35 would look as deep

hmm, the lip maybe slightly smaller, but if you run your front rim smaller, say 17x7, the staggered look will balance out and will look nice.

Just so you know those are cheap wheels. Cheap to buy and cheaply made. They are heavy too. If you want to do much track with those wheel you'll soon find out you wish you had a lighter wheel. If then were just a little light I'd get them in a heart beat. For daily use or show they're awesome. If I had more money I'd get FN's (like I'm going to get) for track and Sport Max's for daily. I mean if you bend a rim its not much to replace it lol.

not taking any offence for the comment, but can anyone back this statement up? are these really that cheap? i dont know because the car came with these wheels. if they are that cheap, then you might want to re-think the purchase roger.(and also consider going 5 lug because u will have many more options, rim-wise?)

The universal lug are generally for front wheel drive cars because they fit all 4 lug hondas, though 35 offest is not bad at all, and neither is that lip. I'd rather have them than generic-o FN01RC's

Then again, I'm not all about autocrossing or anything.

like i said before, the car came with the wheels, so i couldn't tell you how much the rims were. the 18x9.5's should fit as long as the bolt patterns are correct of course. make sure u dont get tires any bigger than 245/40 because you will rub. even with the 245's on my car, the previous owner had to bang in the outer fender just a bit because it was BARELY rubbing.

yes, the site is being dumb. haha.

numerous people have these rims and they always fit. just roll the lip of the fender a little bit. about the weight, these wheels in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 form are about 25 and 28lbs. unless ur looking at bbs or gram lights most 18's are in the low to mid 20lbs range.

http://www.240sxforums.com/for...57204 Heres a good thread on these wheels. Read all 7 pages to get a good feel for them. I love the wheels. They look so sweet. But the weight just kills for track (drifting which is harsh on wheels and tires to start with). There is a guy on here with sportmax's that is drifting on them. He looks pretty good.

I had a good reply typed out but it got deleted somehow. soo....

A) Sportmax wheels are cheap potmetal crap.

B) 17x9 +35 will not fit on the front without a spacer.

C) 17x7 17x9 is such a lame fitment its not even funny.

D) In Conclusion MB Motoring / 5Zigens are better. Sportmax is cheap ricer crap.

so it's about half half - some like it, some dont.

A) What makes you say that? u just dont like them, or you really know what ur talkin about? just wondering.

B) no they wont C) why's it a lame fitment? (i'm just having a hard time understanding what a lame fitment is)

D) yea, i agree of course those are better ... but i guess the last owner didn't wanna dish out that much money for those. i'm sure many others are hesitant about spending that kind of money also.

happy holidays-chuck

A) No, Russelpants does know what he is talking aboutB) I think he may be talking about fitment with coiloversC) that fitment is too staggered if you ask me, a 17x8 F 17x9 R would look alot nicer

-Also Falken hanabi's come in the same size as the 5zigen's, - Grenade(sp?) wheels also have nice fitment, - DT05r I think thats what they are called, if you can find them those come in good sizes tooThats about all the four lug wheels you have out there

sig are 16 x 7.5 +22, stock 4x4 ride height the fronts are about flush and rears need maybe 5mm, but lowered im sure theyll tuck more

you can get the same wheels in lots of different sizes too anything from 15x7 +45 to 17x9 +27, 5 lug can get a +17 on the 17x9, but that doesnt help you
