Hey guys. First off, I searched so please don't flame me lol. Anyway, I don't know much about rims really cuz this will be the first time I ever bought any but I've been lookin at these pretty clean Enkei RPF1 Racing Wheels and they come in sizes 17 x 8 all the way up to 17 x 10. I wanna put them on my 1991 240sx hatch but I dont really know enough about rims. So whats the widest size I can use before I start rubbing my coilovers or the edge of my fenders?

Run a 17x10 in the rear and a 17x9 in the front, you'll have to go pretty low with your offsets, and you will need to roll your fenders and run camber. But it'll look awesometown usa.

I've read that even +38 with 235 wide tires clears. Will 17x9 +35 clear the rear of S13? (tires will be 245 wide)

Thanks a lot for all the help. Definitely going for the 9's & 10's.
