Welcome to NICO.

There are tons of wheel threads. just search offset in the 240sx forums and lots should come up.

Just realize you may have to do some work to get the sizes you want, Rolling fenders/ hammering the lip flat, etc. Don't forgot about alignment unless you love stretched tires and hella camber.

19x10 front with 19x12 rear both with -50 offset... should look pretty.. 'dope'?

im not saying they look bad really, but tire sizing is much better for a 17" wheel compared to a 16"

and that is stupid light...

20 year old OG rays volks. Tire sizing can be interesting... but, you can get a good 'meaty' look...
