Need advice on buying some rims on my 240?

[240SX-Ranfla]

Hey people i need advice on buying rims but the problem is that i am not sure what size. I don't want the tire to be to thin cause the rims messed up quick but i don't want rims to thick. its an 89 240 . thanks

youd be lucky to find any wider than 7inches. 16x7 17x7 18x7 would be good on a 215mm width tire. i have 17x7 on 215s and they fit great. theyre konig's btw

First off, this topic belongs in the wheels/suspension forum. Also, your question is too vague to adequately respond. If you would have read the suspension forums sticky, you would have caught this.

-I am sick of hearing the "Whats the best wheels/tire/suspension for __________(fill in ambiguous goals here)" without enough information, or the person not doing enough research to learn about what they need to ask.

So here's the deal: from now on, whenever you ask for advice on a wheel, tire, or suspension question:

1. Check the FAQ, if I catch a question where you obviously didn't even bother checking I will delete your post.2. Give us the following information in your post:- Car model/year- Price range- Goals of the car- Use of car(BE REALISTIC, telling us you want to drag race and road race and everything else and be the best at it doesnt help anyone, and only hurts you because we cant give you any advice) If you drive the car daily and just want a nice setup for street use just tell us its "mostly street use" dont tell us that you plan on drag racing, road racing, etc...many of those uses have conflicting suspension setups.- Style of wheel you like(if this applies to your question)- Diameter of wheel you'd like (if this applies)3.Give us any other information you think will be of good use to us(such as you dont really care about rain traction, or ride harshness, etc)4. For wheel fitment questions, you MUST provide us: the chassis of car, any suspension (coilovers) or brake modifications, and the wheel offset, diameter and width. It is also helpfull if you specify what size tire you are trying to fit, if this apllies (otherwise someone will reccomend a size for you based on the previous criteria).4. Ambiguous questions/threads will be locked and/or deleted! I cannot extrapolate information from you telepathically, nor can any other member, please provide more info than "I got XX wheel/tire/car, what should I do?"

2nd you drive a ranfla 240sx so youre gonna need gold wire 12" wheels with -40 offset and pointy caps that stick out an extra 6"

You cn easily find rims wider than 7". However, I don't recommend going over 7... I agree with the 17x7 with 215/40-17 tires. That was my original plan in going with a 90 240 fastback. However, I am going with a 1995 240, so I may go with 18x7... Good luck with your project...

NOTE: Wire rim daytons only look good on old school Caddy's!! Please do not disgrace your 240 with such absurdities....

lol, 17x7? wrong.

Wow, I'm surprised the offset police hasn't been in here to flame on the 17x7 comment.

7 in width hella ghey on 240's. Atleast 8 in width all around with a really low offset on S13's.

7 in width hella ghey on 240's. Atleast 8 in width all around with a really low offset on S13's.

agreed. 17x7 is the gayest thing ever. most 17x7s have +40 offset which make them even gayer. if you choose to get 17's get 17x9's. its hard to tell u what to get since u gave so little info.
