staggered wheel fitment question..

[New2SR20]

no no no..these are just some cheap *** e bay wheels i found which were advertised as 240sx wheels in a staggered fitment..i dont even know what brand they are..some generic crap...i was just looking at them to see the offset...its kind of funny that they would sell them as 240 wheels in that fitment and they wont even clear the suspention..

staggered is not necessary. i'm gonna make 17x9 +12's fit on my s14 all the way around. you seem entirely to hung up on having huge rear rims that you are completely missing the offset/fitment argument most people are making. get some wheels that clear and then make them fit. if your gonna spend the money on custom wheels get them in the right offset. if your gonna buy some premade wheels get them in the right offset. but whatever you do listen to these people and get wheels in the right offset.

cuz they want you to buy them :P, just do what pants told you:

18x9 +0 225/4018x10 +0 245/35

no no no..these are just some cheap *** e bay wheels i found which were advertised as 240sx wheels in a staggered fitment..i dont even know what brand they are..some generic crap...i was just looking at them to see the offset...its kind of funny that they would sell them as 240 wheels in that fitment and they wont even clear the suspention..

would an 18x8.5 +35 front clear coilovers and fit well?

or 17x9 +35 all the way around clear coilovers and fit well?

[240sxjeff]

no and no unless you run spacer they will hit the coilover

[emperor_lunchbox]

on the 8.5 fronts or on the 17x9's.

[McRussellPants]

8.5 on +35 will be waaaaaaaayy close if it clears at all.

7.5 +42 barely clears shock spring combo.

9+35 is no where near clearing.

[emperor_lunchbox]

If I use a 5-10mm spacer how far will the wheel stick out of the fender?

[240sxjeff]

Uhh 5-10 mm farther than it stuck out before you put the spacer onget a date with the offset calculator and spend some quality time with it

[emperor_lunchbox]

I meant literally how far will the wheel stick out with a five to ten MM spacer. Not how much will the spacer add, but I'm sure you knew that and you couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a smart a$$

[McRussellPants]

9 +25 will barely clear the shock... again.

It won't stick out at all. Its on the sissy side of flush.

[emperor_lunchbox]

alright, I give up.

[240sxjeff]

dude I wasnt being a smart *** seriously find an offset calculator and start messing with it people aren't going to spoon-feed you everything.You want flush get with a low *** offset wheel and call it a day, wheels barely fit? MAKE them fit and stop crying about itdone and done
