I was curious to know if anyone knows the rear wheel size thats on this 240sx? I only have pics that I've found from Clearcorners.com The car is very clean and the dish on the wheels is just damn. I'm looking for a dish that deep but i have no clue on offsets, etc.HELP

Those are top-o-da-line work wheels,

They come in sizes $700+ per wheel :D

Those on the red s13 are 18 inchers, probably special ordered right from work with reverse dish rims (they flip the wheel section around so the huge lip part is on the outside instead of inside), probably in the realm of rims your never ever ever ever ever ever going to get.

the wheel's i'm guessing like an 18x10.5 or 18x11 with a very very low offset like +10 or less.

first off, that car is no longer in existance due to a drifting accident, but the owner, Richard Tang took alot of the parts of and used them on his new s13.5. the wheels are Work Meister S1's 18x9.5 and 18x11.5. the headlight conversion is by clearcorners.com, but they will only install it in house. give em a call if you are interested, they are extremely helpful and knowledable.

thanks thats what I needed to know. Well, not looking at work wheels, but looking for that look in whatever wheels I decide on. I have one more question. I'm going with the Z32 brake swap and might later on plan on getting BLING BLING brakes. If I get a 10 or less offset that gives the caved in look correct? Lower the offset bigger the dish/lip?

correct. the offset is the amount of mm the spokes are away from the centerline of the wheel. a 0 offset is right at the centerline, and a +10mm offset is 10 mm from the centerline. you can also get - offsets if you really want to go crazy, which i beleive those works above are.

Depends on how wide the wheel is, but yes, that's usually true.

well, if i remember correctly you can go 18x8.5 front and 18.9.5 to 18x10 in the rear

As look as I have enough clearance for the brakes, suspension going with coilovers, and fenders I'm good. No crazy camber,lol.

So lets say I go 18x8.5 front with a 0 offset and 18x10 rear with a 0 offset theyd appear to be "bent" or "caved" in?
