Anyway here is the lay out...

I have a 91 240sx that is built to make around 400RWHP to 500RWHP at maxI will daily drive with around 250 to 300whp I want a set of rims with a nice lip kinda like the motegi Togue but my problem is I dont know what kinda offset to get for my 240sx or width of rim. I will have a set of Tein Coilovers with camber plates and that whole jazz... I want something more for drift/street handling because I love to drive.. !! I would like a 17inch rim because they look nice...

here is the togue im talking about... i was thinking 17x7.5 in front and maybe a 17x9 or 17x10 in the back unless you guys got other oppions...

If you could also list some brands that would be nice also... I just want something with a nice lip that kinda has that look...

thanks

You just shoehorned yourself into cookie cutter FN01RCs.

If you don't have 5h then the only option is FNs. 17x9+20 all the way around.

PS. the only wheels with "the look" you described for cheap and in 4H are gonna be Sport Max and Motegi Touge. Both of which suck.

Work wheels actually just came out with two new lines of cast wheels that offer 4h and good sizes and offsets. Your going to be looking at well over $400 per wheel though.

drill your hubs for 5 lug first, then shop for wheels

I work for american racing and the touge has had a great response from alot of our customers. The only reason I dont have any is that the bronze are backordered. You shouldnt worry about fitment A.R.E. built these wheels right. no recalls in 2 years of production no complaints. 17x9 all around

So a 17x9 +20 would give me the look i want becuase the reason I was kinda iffy about 17x10 is because the tire alone cost 306$ and I dont want to have to keep buying 306$ tires all the time... because that would get old... anyway... I have one more question then... What kinda tires should i be looking into then... because i can get the Touge in x10 or x9 should i go x9 all the way around or shoudl i get x10 in the back and x9 in the front... thank you guys for your help.. My car will be 5lug soon Im buying the front Hubs that convert to 5lug so i dont have to mess with knuckles and crap and im just going to get the rear part out of junkyard

so these are going to be 5 lug then?

youve got a ton of options, just like everything else it depends on budget, but if youre 5 lug the possibilities are endless

if you can afford a $2,000 set of wheels you can go get a set of volks or something that look like that

There are much better wheels than FN01-RCs.

That is all.
