Honest opinions: how bad of wheel fitment are these sizes offsets ect..

[Strategos]

Stock 240 S14 I should sayAny upside to this type of fitment or should I scrap these wheels:

16X8.5 front 17X9 back with +40 offsets

-if anything this is what I'd like to specifically address in this particular thread:

what is peoples opinions about having bigger wheels in back like this?

I doubt those will even fit on a 240. 8.5" wide +40 offset wheels dont play nicely with the struts. From the rear of the car, those 9" +40 wheels will look like a pigeon toed kid doing ballet.

Not really sure about the bigger diameter rear wheels. I know cars like the NSX are setup like that, but not sure why.

Those front wheels won't fit, period. You can't go larger than a +28 with 8.5 wheels on front of s13 with coilovers.

Edit: I see that you don't have coilovers. However, the front wheels still will not clear. You will need to run a large spacer, or a small spacer and stretched tires for them to clear the struts.

May not be good for a 240, but that would be nice on a Q45 .

Look at the pic in this thread. That's the space I have between stock strut and wheel. It's a 17x8 +38.

OK the car they would be for is a S14 also there is another option I found out and the offsets are slightly different, but it doesn't seem worth the struggle.

-offsets for the front +38 17X8.5-offsets for the rear +42 18X9

1. And so fitment would be nice for a Q45, really maybe I should look for a Q?

2. Does this slight actuall offset difference change much when on a S14 not S13?

3. Curious to know what the effect of wheels an inch larger in diameter on back be?

What do those wheels look like?

May not be good for a 240, but that would be nice on a Q45 .

I'll pm you the pics when I get them.
