I want to buy some wheels. Preferably the 5-zigen fno1r-c's for my 4 lug 240. I dont know what offset to buy but i am getting 17x7's front and 17x8 rear. What i am really looking for though is the "sunken spoke" look. How the spokes kinda sink in to the center cap. I dont want the wheels to look flat if you know what i mean. But can anyone recommend the correct offset or any brand of wheels that look good for 240's that have that look? BTW ive got a 92 coupe.

You want good looking wheels? Drop the Honda sizes.

Your screen name is painfully misleading.

The suspension forum is about 50% offset questions about 240's(ok so I am exaggerating....or am I?)just go look at what other people have, and use the suspension stickies. Look up stock wheel size, then look up the offset calculator and measure how much clearance you want to keep and want to get rid of. The read and look at more pictures until you think you have an Idea of what will be best, THEN ask opinions

Welcome to NICO don't let the barrage of "SEARCH!" replies you may sometimes get scare you off we don't mean any harm Read through the different forums and use the search button as much as possible (I know it can be a pain at times...)

oh and +1 for coupes...

Hi there.

Okay well if you want the sunken spokes you better do a 5 lug conversion, that the only what your going to get that look.

If you want to stay four lug then you want a +35 or lower offset. Or you can buy TE37's gravel that have sunken spoke on the 4 lug wheels.

Ditto. YOu need a conversion with 17x10 or *ahem* a "man size" to get that look.
