Oh gawd, anything that needs 20mm spacers shouldn't be put on the car in the first place. Anything under 8" wide doesn't belong on a 240, you might as well get oem wheels. And for the trifecta, anything with the universal 8lug hole crap should never be used with a wheel.

Looks are a matter of opinion, but those look hideous. Please don't get junk like that. Save your money or even get some oem wheels, you'll be glad you did.

Like pure dammit.

They don't look that bad, but those sizes and offset are for FWD.

Word to your mother.

I think it's totally retarded that people buy wheels and have to put rediculous amount of spacer on to make them look decent.

It's one thing if you have like 18x10's and you want to put a little more offset (5-10mm) to flush them out a little more but 20+mm spacers. Get the correct wheel size to begin with.

Thanks Folks.. Now am leaning on Getting 5 ZIGEN FN01R-C red line with

17x8 +25mm(F)17x9 +35mm(R)

Does that sounds reasonable?
