Ok heres the deal: I know spacers arent a good idea and wheels with proper offsets are ideal, but my parents dont know anything about that and they got me my wheels for xmas. They are 7.5" wide with a +42 offset. I figured a +27 offset is what you need for a 7.5" wheel, but correct me if im wrong. I hate having my car lowered and having 7.5" wide wheels, just a personal preferance, i like wheel wells to be full. So what im getting to is im going to get spacers until i can afford some quality wheels that are wide with a good offset, but for the time being i cant. I think im goingto go with the H&R hubcentric spacers, since those seem to be the best option out there for the 240SX and since they also allow for a hubcentric ring.Tell me what you think since you all know more about it than me.

I would avoid spacers at all costs. Couldnt your parents return the wheels and use the money torwards some proper fitting ones?

half way through reading your post, I was thinking I should post that if you must have spacers, please inquire about the H&R unit. Looks like you're already there. Be sure to let us know what you decide on!
