Hey Guys, i have an 93 240sx with a 5-lug conversion, and i also have a 50mm widebody on the rear and a 20mm widen front fender, and need some help on some wheels. I was planning on buying two 17x10 for the rear and probally 17x8 or 9 for the fronts; but I dont know which offsets to get for both front and rear wheels to clear and make it look good with my widen body, and also do I need wheel spacers or none at all?

needs to be wider, along the lines of 17x9.5 fronts and 17 or 18x10 or 10.5 rears

the offsets you get depend on the width you choose...what wheels you looking at?

the wheels i am looking at are 5zigen FN01r-c or probally Work s1; I am trying to get a good width for the rear for more traction, probally the 10" width for rear, and for the front, i would like a width with clearance.

personally with a 10", i would go somewhere in between -28 to -38mm. thats in the rear. as for the front, 9", some were between 0 and -15mm.
