Hello, I have 91 240sx with Tokico Hp shocks with Eibach prokit springs. I want to put my 5 lug conversion on soon. But I need some help with what off sets will work well. I want to go with 17x8 in the front and 17x9 or 9.5 in the rear. I like the look and prices of gram lights 57c, 57s and 5 Zigen FN01RC. I'm ok with having to do a little body work. If you have pictures of one of these set ups please post. I looked for awhile to find someone with that setup. Oh and if you know of a place that has them in stock that would be awesome.

16x8 +10's

Why do a 5-lug conversion when the wheels you want are available in good 4-lug sizes? Run a 17x9 +20 5Zigen FNO1R-C's with a 235/40/17 all the way around for a great stance. Its a tried and true setup.

Well I got a great price for the five lug conversion. I think It just looks better and I'll be doing a brake upgrade next so that will be a little easier. I all ready have the tires so I'm kind of stuck with going with those sizes. 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear.

The only purpose of a 5 lug conversion is to run better sized wheels. Period.

You can do any brake upgrade with 4 lugs.

I dont get your logic. It looks better? What?
