Hey everyone. I'm new here but need some help. My 240 has the 15 inch stockers on it and I want to go to a 17" wheel. Preferably 17x8 all the way around. I need to know what tire size would be good to run with drop springs so I dont have any clearance issues. and also i want to have a somewhat flush look WITHOUT flaring or pulling fenders or quarters. So I'm needing to know what offset of 17x8 wheel would be good to use in my case. I'm somewhat on a budget but please shoot me some ideas. THANKS MUCH! :biggrin:

ALSO: I have been searching everyyyyy forum site and just haven't exactly found what I need to know. I just mostly want to be able to rotate tires. This setup will be for drag, especially when I ..... SR20DET swap :D I will be using stock wheels/tires for drift along with LSD when I get the money for that.

I havent rolled the fenders and it barely rubs on rough dips

Not searching well enuff son. Before you get flamed, check out the wheels brakes and suspension forum here
nissan-tires-wheels-brakes-suspension.html

And then have a look at the fitment database with pics and all here
fitment-database-post-your-wheel-setup- ... 65282.html

You prolly need to read a bit more, so here is the Wheel FAQ
wheel-faq-t57950.html

Good luck guy. Search first, read second, search some more, read some more, hit that search a final time, and then post a question if you still cant find an answer, we are always happy to help
