I'm trying to find a place that is reasonably priced to get some rims. I'm looking for a staggered set up 17x9+10 front 17x8+8 rear. The offset #'s are neg. thats just what I would prefer. Let me know if any of you guys have some ideas.

You won't find what your looking for unless its like a 35+ offset. all the good ones get bought out over in japan. Either that or the wheel will be some trashcan design/condition.

ok so I've searched over the web and found alot of really good info....but I guess I'm still really confused when it comes to offset. I'm wanting to go with 9" rear and an 8" front, but I want the rims/tires to sit flush or stick out slightly from the wheel well. They need to clear 30mm calipers and coilovers. I thought the offset #'s I gave up at the top were correct but after sifting through a couple sites I'm wondering if I have my numbers backwards. So I should be looking for like a +40 offset or somethin?

8 +10 will be flush on the front.9 +25 will be flush on the rear.

Highly conservitive, which is what I think your looking for.

yeah pretty much the lower the offset the farther away the wheel is going to stick away from the shock/spring, but you also have to take into consideration the width

are you looking for a 4 or 5 lug wheel? Also, are you wanting something lightweight, or it doesn't matter? There's quite a few 5 lug wheels you can find staggered, and not so many 4 lug wheels.

Here's a recommendation from myself. I don't know if they're in your price range, but I think they're pretty affordable for most.

Scroll to the top http://www.nissanclub.com/foru...13175

You can order them from here http://www.aspecproducts.com

HAHAHAHA I don't know man, your's is pretty good but I like mine alot!

Teddy-I'm looking for 4 lug, as for being lightweight or not....I would love something light. I can't afford the light ones right now though . That link you sent me was awesome though. I love the look of those rims (and the offset). I'm going to have to tuck that link away till I have some more $$$. Thanks for the help guys, if you have any other suggestions let them be heard!
