RIMS QUESTION!!!

[ventrex]

Im looking at a set of "Volk Racing Sebing ITC 18 Inch Wheels" They are 18x7.5 +38mm Offset

18x8.5 +40mm Offset

does anyone know if this will fit a 1992 nisssan 240SX coupe?? also i have Skyline GTR r33 front brake upgrades.Anyone kno if they will clear?The seller says that the rims are "staggered" so make sure they will fit? what does this mean, and will it fit??they also gave a link to "http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/itc.htm"which i think says that they are 4/5 lug... if anyone could help me out id really appricate it. Also if anyone knows what size tires these will take..

They will fit, but they will look like crap. They won't be flush with the fenders.

Brake clearance will depend solely on the spoke design.

Use google for the rest of your questions.

If you are into that type of design, I would look into the new Sports Engine Hyper Silver Wheels by 5Zigen. I ordered a pair myself for my G

how can i make them flush with the fenders? is that where spacers come in?

Possibly, but a better bet would be to buy wheels with lower offsets.

On an s13 you should be running something like this if you want to stagger.

Front; 7.5 +15-20Rear; 8.5 +20-25

I'm running 17x8.5 +25 all the way around and they are very close to flush (if not slightly sticking out).

Stagger is pointless on near stock cars.

7.5+20 isn't flush. You would want the offset to be more around 5.

At any rate, 18's on an s13 that isn't tucking tire with good paint and aero will look crappy no matter what.

In addition, 18" wheels in only 7.5 inch width sucks.

i can't find nice rims/tires that will fit this car ... i thought the Rays ITC would work, but i guess ur saying its not??

[JoshG35]

ventrex, go look at the Sports Engine wheels by 5Zigen.

[JoshG35]

Those are great sizes, but they are 5 lug as well. Gotta read carefully man.

I know about staggering, it just seems like I am one of the few who runs somewhat wide weheels all the way around. Every rim fitment question anymore is about stggered wheels.

Flush is all a matter of preferance, 7.5 +15 with minimal camber is close on a stock bodied car. Camber this, tire stretch that, there is an array of sizes you can call flush.

The only 18's Ive ever liked on an s13 was one I saw in Super Street over 3 years ago. It was a silver hatch with OEM type-X aero and was tucking some bad *** PIAA wheels. I'll try to dig up some pictures.
