Hey, I'm new to this forum but not to forums in general. I've read through quite a few stickies and run through some searches, but you guys are the experts and I'd like some direct advice.

I bought my 92' 240sx hatch a few months ago to do a complete buildup, and pretty much turn it into a car built just the way I like it. I plan to drop in an sr20det red-top soon, my ultimate goals will be somewhere in the area of 275-325 rwhp. I'm in the confusing wheel market at the moment, and I have some questions, but first I'll follow the mod's advice and post as much relavent info as possible.

- 92' 240sx hatchback - base model- I plan to use it as a daily driver, but the mods I do now I'd rather not have to redo, so they will need to be adequate for future light track duty.- I live in the Northeast so tires I pick would need to handle water well. The roads aren't great, but ride harshness is not near the top of my list of priorities.

Setup:Brakes: All 4-Lug.Front - 30mm z32 aluminum calipers, brembo blanks, SS lines Rear- Stock-sized brembo rotors, upgraded padsSoon to get z32 MCSuspension:Megan Racing Street Coilovers (Ride Height: Little lower than stock)RS-R D1-Spec Polyurethane Bushing Kit

What I'm looking for:5 or 6 spoke styleBronze or dark preferableAs wide as they can be without fender rolling or tight clearanceto the Megan Racing coilovers.

I'm looking for some wheel suggestions in most preferablya 16x7.5" or 17x7.5" all around that are known to fit.

Thanks in advance!

welcome to the forums!

1) too much information for such a simple question...

2) if you searched, you would have found the answer by now! this question was just discussed yesterday, and the day before, and about 1-2 times a week.

3) seriously, search, this has been answered.

For starters - 16x8 or 17x8 +30 will work just fine in the front if you don't want to roll. 16x9 or 17x9 +35 or so is about as wide as you can go in the back w/o stretched tires and w/o rolling.

Want more specific answers? search .

p.s. don't give me that B.S. that you searched already and couldn't find info, because I just answered about 5 different posts about this exact stuff this month.

Its not really a question of fitament, so much as it was a question of what wheels people know to be available that fit the conditions I listed.

I would thank you for your answer, but your replydidn't offer any suggestions but to change the specs I was looking for.

ps. I don't see why you feel the need to complain about too much info, if I didn't post as much as I did you'd complain about that too.

hes 4 lug d00d

that limits you to 5zigen fn01rc, gram lights 57c and 57s, im pretty sure grenades dont come in 4 lug but if they do then those too

also tack mine onto the list, buddy club p1 racing, although many people think theyre too "plain" for 1200

i got one of the last few sets tire rack had for $450 though, so i win

the *only* size you can get cr kai's in in 4 lug is 17x8 +32, no 15s, 16s, or 18s, no other sizes in 17, no nothing

also the popular volks come in 4 lug, give me a year or so and ill have a set of these

like i said my buddy clubs work too, but i got them for 1/3 the price you have to pay now, so i dont know how many people would opt for them now
