Need opinions for new Wheels for my 90 240SX

[S13Ivy]

I am planning to get either the Tenzo DC-6 Version one Bronze (http://www.tenzoracingsports.c....html)

or Sportmax 003 Bronze (http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_003.shtml#)

Both rims, I will get 17 " X 7, 40mm offset I guess. (or smaller) Car is mostly for sunday driving, no drifting, no racing.....

Since I have put on the vertex body kit and have the Tein suspension (lowered), I dont want the car to be too lower that can easily mess up with the body kit. ( I am a horrible driver, btw)

Please let me know which one should I get. thanks a lot.....

Also what kind of tire fitment should I get. I heard 225/40 front and 235/40 rear is good. Is that right?

In my opinion, 16" wheels are perfect for 90 - 94 nissan 240sx. Just my opinion

Is it because 17 inches still too large that will rub the fender and wheelbase?

Since I have put the body kit, so I guess 17 inches will look more aggressive

17x7 with 40mm offset FTL! It will look as crappy as stock with that high an offset and even worse with a body kit imho. I am telling you this because people with more experience than me are fed up with replying to these posts. I know this through searching which is what I suggest you do.

^^You are learning fast young grasshopper.Where is yokota I wonder?To the o/p, I would suggest to you and pretty much anybody else: 7.5" wide at the very least front or back. High teens to low 20's for offsets front and rear. that will give you decent well fill, and will not look sunken.

so wait, you have a vertex kit, and want 7"+40's

dude... no

[S13Ivy]

thanks a lot, guys.

So which 17" rim, off set and tires should I get.

I am pretty sure 17" will be good, but for rest of those information, I have no idea.

I'd say just go 17x9+20 all around. Staggard setups are over rated

stock wheels are 6.5" wide, so it really woudn't make sense to get a wheel thats 7"... what the heck is .5"s gonna do?

thanks a lot, man.

How about the tire? 225/40 F and 235/40 R sound ok?

[adrianfromthecastle]

225/45 all around

[S13Ivy]

so this won't look weird with the full vertex body kit, right?

I don't want the car to be too low because I am still a newbie to 5speed.

I think I will adjust the height of the suspension to be higher...just make sure I won't have to get a new bumper soon......lol

thanks..coffee...
