Yeah it's been done before and it will fit. You may need spacers, but I'm not sure. I'll look for a pic for ya.

I was actually thinking about going with those, but I'd rather go with the Sportmax 962s.

only reason im lookin at them is because there s guy near me selling some with almost new falken tires on them. and they dont look half bad, im currently running some no name brand rims but there 15 x 6 1/2 with a 45 offset i think with those i might want to lower the car though

[King Ranzo]

dam it how do i post a pic off google its not working >>:O

1. Save the picture2. Get a Photobucket account (if you don't already have one)3. Upload photo4. Copy IMG code5. Paste here

Photobucket has to be the easiest way to post pics on forums. Either that or try Imageshack.us, but after a while the pic will probably get deleted that's why I always suggest Photobucket.

cool thanks pix is so small so you think theyll just go right on?

picturepush.com have better quality when you unload them.. photobucket make your picture all blurry

[capblueberry]

my bros spec v...with powder coated wheels. i think they would look dam good on a white or all blacked out 240

[maryjane]

if your cars lowered youll want spacers because of the small offset

[nifares240]

they'll fit but will look sunk in

[AZ89two4Tsx]

They look OK, but you'll want spacers. They have about the same offset as oem s13 wheels.

[locoluna825]

Is the offset how far a rim comes outward or inward? cuzz the oem 240sx rims are 45's and the sentra rims are 47's

[simmode1]

Yes, offset determines how far the outer lip of a wheel protrudes from the hub the wheel is mounted on. The 240 needs lower offset wheels to look right. Much lower than +47.

Good wheel fitment would be something more like 17x9+20. Refer to the 'Wheel fitment Database' sticky or Rimtuck.com for any additional questions.

will they clear z brakes and if so with what size spacer's r needed

[homeslicej2]

I bought my Spec-R wheels from a guy running 30mm Z32 brakes on his S13, he gave me the spacers he was using when I bought the wheels they were 15mm or 25mm and he said they were needed. I just measured and there is about 12-13mm of clearance b/t the wheels and the stock calipers, but the wheel spokes angle inward as you move towards the outer edge of the wheel. Since Z32 rotors are larger in diameter and the calipers stick out so much more than stock, you will probably need at least 15mm spacers to clear this inward angling.

[truckmtr240]

I also have been looking for some used spec v wheels for my 240. Can anyone find more pictures i found 1....

[truckmtr240]

pics?

[truckmtr240]

Will they fit without spacers?

[240_SeX]

will they clear z brakes and if so with what size spacer's r needed

They will not clear Z brakes, front or rear. I have 26mm Z32 brakes front and rear and had to ditch my spec V wheels. you only need about an 8mm spacer in the rear, but up front was 30+mm.

[240_SeX]

Will they fit without spacers?

yes, they fit the stock setup without any spacers. however i had 225/45/17's and they were very close to the front struts, they might not fit with coilovers. i swapped my Z32 setup in at the same time i did my coilovers so i couldn't test it.

[Faded_SpecV]

FWIW you guys are just looking at the 2002-2003 Spec V wheels. The 2004-2006 wheels are different with more clearance to go over the optional Brembo package that came on those years.

[240_SeX]

02-06 sentras are all available with the same brembo package if i"m not mistaken

[Faded_SpecV]

Brembos were not an option until '04, hence the new wheel design to clear them.

The '02-'03 Spec V wheels will not fit over the Brembos offered on the '04-'06 Spec V's.
