Question ON OFFsets

[tricktunes240]

So finally i decided i need some phat rims....i have a 92 hatch and thinking about these --->

i would like a higher/lower offset so my wheels are a little farther out for better handling..... how do you feel about these? thanx

[chmercer]

youll need to get the lowest offset available (35) and some spacers, if you want to clear the shocks.

[tricktunes240]

So somthing with a 40 offset will not fit a 92 240sx?

+40 only really works with the stock wheel widths. Especially if you're ordering wheels from the internet, don't even give a second look to a +40 aftermarket wheel. It will do one or both of two things:Look badNot fit

In peoples previous threads, they used those same wheels with a 17x9 +35 offset in the rear and they sat just about flush. In the front, you'd need the 35 offset again, on maybe a 17x8 or smaller with a spacer.

BTW, you can get those wheels on ebay for about half the cost that place wants.

They only come in 17x9 +35 and 17x7 +40.

A member named 90 Dgrz or something like that has the 9" wheels on his hatch...

[tricktunes240]

How would the 17x7s look do you think? and woudl they fit right away when i got em....without spacers and ****? thanx

[hannibal]

Naw, theyre only 0.5-1" wider than stock. Not really worth it, unless youre getting a good deal on them...

Look for 90 DGRZ threads. I remember him talking about it, but not sure if he was running spacers.

i have adr spade 17-7 all around, ya there not super wide. but i think they look sharp. remeber though if you puting larger weels on think about geting coilovers or lowering springs to make up for space. 17 with low profile tires wont realy raise ride hite. but they make gap in weel well seam larger.
