Thank you ChunkiDori, I appreciate the useful information.

I guess I can handle that. I dont think the stock wheels look all that sunkin. Besides, I really didn't want wheels that stick out very far. (looks odd IMO) I do have a set of Eibach prokit springs on there for a 1" drop. Like I said earlier, I will post some pics soon perhaps we'll all be supprised. :D

New brake pads will be here today, then it all goes on friday.

Oh, yeah and I apologise for not having 300-400 to spend on some Volks or BBS's. I would rather spend 2g's on a turbo kit.

I really didnt think 170$ was all that cheap. I guess I coulda sprung for those 85$ Rage's I saw. :rolleyes

What about waiting for installations? I hate that as much as waiting on UPS

i think this is a perfect example of when someone asks a question and everyone screams "SEARCH"

I think that if people wouldn't be constantly telling people to search then some people wouln't be scared to ask...just a thought

Are you kidding me? 240SX has horrible 4x4 stance combined with sunken wheel syndrome. Stock wheel with a 25mm spacer would look OK. Course, don't put 25mm spacers on your stock wheel. Not worth it.

Get this man a trophy. This has to be the most GENERAL question asked today.

"hey guys, I want to mod my car, what should I do?"

Go to the suspension forum and post the wheel specs you want to run, and how much fender modification you are willing to do, and I'll give you an offset.

the nice thing is ive seen his car for myself (i gave him a ride today since another guy flaked out...) and all i can say is the Konig Next on the 98 240 is breathtaking. 25mm spacer my ***...the car doesnt need it. doesnt look "sunken" in or anything. looks damn clean IMO. makes me wanna get some 17's now too...LOL i didnt really feel the choice of wheels when i saw them online, kinda skeptical just looking at them off the car, but now that theyre on, its just a great combo. sure, theyre not sticking out of the fenders or whatnot, but thats a good thing to me. now if there was a wide-body kit on there, yea i could see needing spacers...but with the way the car is, dropped on the Eibachs, its just mean, aggressive, and beautiful. two thumbs up from an Altima guy ;)

now if my damn Hotshot header would just get here...
