OMFG. Please don't.

That pizza cutter of a wheel is like 17x6.5+40 or something like that. They would be so sunken, ppl will think they are vampire wheels hiding from the sun...

A more decent fitting wheel for an s13 should be something closer to 17x9+20.

Its never a good idea to buy a 'pizza cutter' thin wheel. Especially knowing that you're gonna have to ghetto-rig it with 30mm (minimum) spacers to make it look right. It's just a real bad, not well thought out, cheap skate idea.

Just save up for something that fits correctly in the first place.

Per this detailed FAQ sheet, SE-R wheels are inadequate for 240sx or most RWD fitment needs...

Most people use S14 wheels and Z32 wheels G35 wheels are good if you are going for a factory wheel look

But I'm guessing he's still 4 lug, since the wheel he's inquiring about is...

No they wont clear the brakes...not even close. At least the 02-03 5 spokes wont, which are a 17x7 +47

I have the 26mm calipers and i would need like a 30mm spacer in the front to clear the brakes. the rear only needs a 5-10mm
