yea, but will they work properly? i have seen other places that people are using 42 or 38 offsets, would this cause a problem?

thanks for the quick reply

it will fit, but it will look like garbage

the 240sx wheel sizes are a little harder to come by

15, 16 or 17 by at least 8

offset of at least +30 (if you're kinda conservative) all the way up to +-0 for the more extreme guys

would spacers do the trick with a positive offset? if you had a +38 and got a 10 spacer would that not be like +28?

maybe a stupid question>>>>>>>

no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ask questions....
