I have a 1995 240sx SE just got it and i have a few questions. What size wheels would fit great on there for an everyday driver? 19" or 18"? And which is a better exhaust system Greddy, Megan Racing, APEXI, or HKS?

Welcome!

...idk, 17" maybe?

...as for exhaust, i guess it's just all about personal preference. Maybe you should look into brm...a buddy of mine got one of those for his car and it sounded pretty damn good...just my opinion though

Wasting money on a brand name exhaust is a little stupid IMO. Its a metal pipe, nothing more. Well, thats unless you can find a good deal. As for the wheels, SEARCH. Go to the wheel/tire section and all your questions will be answered.

Well if you have the money to drop on a $500 exhaust then congrats. Its not like it isn't quality product but I would rather save the extra $300 and put that towards suspension. Not only that but I bought a coupe with an ebay exhaust and I think its just fine, sounds ok, not too loud. I'll get a buddy club spec 2 sooner or later but I have better things to worry about then what the name on my exhaust says. Ebay exhaust is a hit or miss but I'm fine with mine, quality welds and an ok sound.

I'd drop it first then decide on wheels. Cause if you by 19s and then drop it and they rub your f***ed...and as for exhaust save the money its just a pipe like they said put it toward your suspension.

i would say just get 17"-18" depending on your budget. Before you get rims lower the car with coilovers and dont worry about an exhaust just yet. Check youtube for exahust vids. Remember this is all my opinion.

Check the classifieds for people selling rims, coilovers, and exhausts.

Get a custom exhaust from an exhaust and welding shop. I got a 2.5 for like 300 and it sounds amazing. Definitly go for suspension like coilovers before the rims, but IMO get the exhaust first because it will give your car a "tuner feel" that youll love and give some power.

"tuner feel"

seriously though. google has image search. google 240sx wheel and a million and 1 images will come up(probably more). figure it out for yourself.

best exhaust....... just slap on the largest can you can weld on to the stock pipe..... dont even bother removing the muffler, just tack it onto the end of that.
