So I have been SEARCHING on here for what size rims will fit on my 93 S-13. I have found a few good post with good info.
I belive i am going to go with a 17X9 +20 rim size(pls let me know if that seams stupid)
So now i have 2 questions.
1. where is a good place to shop for this size rim?
2.what is a good rim brand at around a 1000$ price tag(For 4 rims no tires)

here is some info on my car. It is a 93 240sx hatchback. it has meagen street coilovers(not installed yet). It has the stock 4 X114 bolt battern. thats about all i can think of that will effect wheel fitment.
A couple of things i am looking for in my wheels are: i want them to be WIDE especially in the rear. i want them to be light or at least not overly heavy. and for them to fit pretty close to flush. I would like to find a 5 spoke or split spoke design.i dont want to have to roll or pull my fenders at least not right away.
I am ok to buying used wheels as i plan on replacing these in the futer.

And before anyone says anything i allready no #1 i want wide, light wheels that fit flush with no modifcation for cheap. CRAZY i know but im just seeing what is the closet rim to what i want without buying somthing that dosent fit or look right. # 2 my speeling sucks so sorry about that.
so any help would be awsome. Tanks :bigthumb:

1) See sig.
2) Pick wheel.
3) Plug wheel name and size into Google shopping.
4) Success?

+20 may or may not rub the coils, I suggest you check out and see what others are running.

Megans and clear 17x9+20, He's good.

OP, if you want quality, go with 5Zigen FN01RC's in 17x9+20. If you want dirt cheap, go with XXR 006's.

I'm runnin xxr 006's +20 and they barely clear my coilovers. but over all they are decent wheels for the price, they've survived a few curb hits this winter and a lot of pot holes. Only problem I have with them is that the lip is a piece of chromed steel and its startng to get a tiny bit of surface rust.

LIke the 17x9 +20 choice, if I could find some cheap ones or a trade I'd swap my 16x8 0 for some. Like the FNs, just that they are everywhere it seems.

Ahhh, the beauty of cheapa$$ Megans... With these, you can fit alot of wheels that you shouldn't be able to...

But Megans (even without the extended brackets) should clear 17x9+20 and 17x9.5+12 too...

Awesome thanks for all the advice really what I needed. Does anyone know if the 17X9.5 +12 will fit with the Meagan’s? And where can you get the extender brackets for the Meagan’s

I dont know that coilover but generally a 9.5 upfront fits a +14 to +10 so you may be okay
