Okay i have been searching for a whil know and never got the rigth answer. i was wondering if i got some Rota Subzero with an 40 offset. If i would have to get some wheel spacers to make them look flush but also be good for drag and autocross. My other choice was to get some stock alloys from a 91 but i kinda want to get some better rims. The stock alloys cost $500 and the rota subzeros i can get them for $400. So if oyu guys can help me out. I am open to all suggestions. :confused:

40 offset should be pretty flush, much more flush than the 91 stockers.

um, 40 offset is horrible, not flush at all, and who charges 500$ for stock wheels? the offset also depends on the width of the wheel, on a 7 inch wheel, +10 is decent.

i am not sure because wheels are hard to find. Maybe you guys can help me out. What about a 38 offset with 15 inch rims.

Also do you guys now any place to find some cheap after market rims amaybe mesh or something that would fit the 240.

discounttiredirect.com has good deals on wheels. 17x7 and 16x7 WITH tires and free shipping start at $700-800! I've boght from them a couple of times. Or check out tirerack.com, one of the sponsors of NICO. Their link is on the left near the top.

flushness depends on the wheel width. since youre going cheap, ill assume a 7" wheel. you need something right around +10 to be flush. dont get cheap wheels and tires, theyre the most important part on the car.
