Ok guys i havent been on for a minute, i got a new hatch ill post pics later but i need some opinions my other 240 was all about auto x but now i want to build something hella flush lol. I need a opinion and some info. Now imagine this wheel http://www.rayswheels.co.nz/blow_up_images/GT7.jpg 18 by 7.5 4 lug on a 240sx hatch dropped with negative camber what do you think? Also can someone photoshop it for me please if they have time the rim is volk gt7's and also there powder coated white. Personally i think white on red looks sick but i need some opinions before i go out and buy the rims thanks guy. BTW no flaming i dont know much s*** about hella flush and really cant find anything on the forum

we need offset numbers. We cant tell you anything without them.

If it was me, i would be looking for something 17x9(or10's) +8 in the rear. Im not expert on s13's anymore.

I think you're going to want something wider than 7.5. And you'll probably want to go 5 lugs for a better selection of wheel sizes. I'm far from a wheel fitment guru, but that's the direction I would go.

This should give you an idea of what wheel specs will be required to achieve 'hella-flush' status.

Here's a hint: 18x7.5 is hella-suck.

Hella flush 7 inch wheels..... on a smart car right?

These would be nice to see, but some serious fenders to pull it off.

x10^27 = Hella.

For relatively simple setup, I'd say 17x9+15(ish) and 18x9.5+15(ish).

You ain't hella flush untill you're running so much neg camber that only 1.47" of your 10" wide tire is touching the road AND you have to pull and roll your fenders

Ewww... That is not what that is.

Sarcasm, I know. At least, I hope it was sarcasm...

This type of fitment ain't for amateurs...

1) "Hella" anything is gay.

2) Make the car fit the wheels.

3) 18's are dandy on an S13. Better be a damn sweet S13 tho.

Well said... i'm a little more lenient on the "hella" phrase... but that's b/c I don't care what it's called as long as it looks good

5" tires on 10" wide wheels does not look good.Caving in wheels with camber and pulling fenders means they obviously do not fit= does not look good.There is nothing flush, hella or otherwise about the above 2 points.
