I feel really bad about this, but I am just so confused on it. Anyway here it goes... I want to run overfenders all the way around my 240. 20mm in the front and 50mm in the back. Now what would be a good offset and width for this setup. The only other thing I can tell you is that I will lower it roughly 1-2 inches whatever make the wheel look good and that I want to run 18" all the way around. I want the wheels to be staggered. Help me if you can. PLEASE DON'T FLAME. I have been more than my fair share lately.

damn.. 50mm in the rear?

kay, here's my input, assuming you want a 9/10" staggar 18x9+20 would be flush, so with 20mm fenders up front18x9+0

and for 50mm fenders in the rear18X10 -10 or -20?

if its an s13, id say go 18x 9 +0 frontand in the rear depending on how good you are at making stuff fit you COULD go 18x10 +5 or sow theoretically

but its all dependan on your talent to fit wheels hoenstlyif you dont know what your doing when your putting on over fenders, like putting htem on before you do your wheels, then it wont fit.

Yes S13 and I don't want to go too big because I don't want any rubbing or anything. Oh and putting on wheels is not exactly rocket science. . Oh and I have a body shop buy that is going to be doing all my body work for me.

If S14 with 20/50mm fenders you are going to want to run 18X9.5 with about a -10 or -15/20 if you are balla at fitment like yokota suggests.

On the rear you will want a 10 or 11 width with a -28 for 11/-32 for 10 or a -35 baller.

I know the car is S13 but I'm throwing it out there in case noobs run across this thread.

yokoto- I know what you are saying and a person that has worked on cars before will be able to make wheels fit with no problem. I understand that you are saying that a newb to cars wouldn't be able to.

ddgsxr504- Good thinking!

I really don't want to spend anymore than $2000 for all 4 wheels. That doesn't include tires that is just the wheel budget. Thanks yokota for the this you have already been a big help. Thanks again.

How about you google these links (to start) and find something you like and then he'll get you a price and shipping quote.

I have already checked Mackin Industries, and I don't like work wheels. To give you an idea these are the ones that I like to begin with but can't find the right offset for.
