Hey guys I'm looking for some answers to a question I have about some rims hoping that they will fit.I have a '96 240SX SE with 5 lug stock rims. I want to put on rims that are 18x8, offset 40, bolt pattern 5x114.3, and a bore of 72.6.Any replies would be great and also would a bolt pattern of 5x100 or 5x112 work? because with those I can get a 35MM offset.Thx guys

only 5x114.3 will work. If the hub bore is bigger you can get hubcentric rings, but if its smaller it would need to be machined. 18x8 +40 is a garbage size though. Too tall and overly high offset, those will NEVER clear coilovers in front, and will be really sunken into the fenders.

Thx guys for the info. They were the Enkei ZR1 series. I am interested in 18" size but 17's will do if they look similar in design. I plan on getting the TEIN SS coilovers if that helps. Any suggestions?

I've got a suggestions..search these forums for fitment threads, I am entirely too tired of discussing why you shouldn't be slapping FWD offset skinny wheels on your car, much less overly wide negative offset wheels..
