I am looking to use a 17x12 in the rear, and 17x8 or 8.5 fronts on my 240SX. Its swapped with a LS6 and has a Cusco 1.5 in her. On launch I dont get traction and with the power and torque that I have I need something to dispurse it.

I havent really looked around too much, but I think Work wheels may have something for my application. But for those using a 12inch wheel in the rear. What offset are you using? I would assume 0 or even negative. And are you using overfenders?

Much appreciated, I searched 12' and it was pages about subwoofers

Looks like most are about 10 inch wheels which I may be limitied too, I like those Work VS XX's. Looks like the a 17 or 18x10 is what I will be using with over fenders.

I got a set of Brand new in the box 18 X 8's hmmm ebay time

umalmost anyu good 3 piece wheel will be able to use a 12 inch wide

your going to need 50 overs for not having to run alot of camber

and if you can run an 18x10 +10 on 30 overs with almost no camberyou could potentially run a 18x10 -10

so plug that into a conversion calculator12 + 15 would fitBUT youll haver 50mm less inner clearanceso if you get a lower offset and camber it a **** ton, which will **** up your traction to begin withyou would be fine

but i dont know how mcuh clearance i had from my 18x10 +10 to tell you if it will work 100%it SHOULDbut if it were me (and we all know how retarded i am)

id go for a 10 with a 275 on that ***** honestlyits going to be more streetableand that huge of a stagger will create understeer
