18's are kinda big on a 240...17 are a good choice. you could ask in the wheels/tires/susp. forum too

How about you give us some widths and offsets?

wheel height tells us next to nothing.

it depends, if your getting a coil-over suspension you want something thats going to clear your coilovers. which would be about +30. if your not getting coilovers, something higer would work. but lower offset +30 +25 +20 look better on a 240.

I do plan on getting coil overs so if i were to get the enkei RS6 rims that i was planning on getting would they work/look ok or do you have any other rim to recomend according to nismo fly they are 17x7 +38, and 18x7 +38 or do i want something with a lower offset

with coilovers i believe you need something around +30. if you get the enkei's you would need spacers. i would find something with a lower offset. plus, doesn't a lip look nice?
