What size spacers would work best with +45 offset wheels

[Strategos]

There are some wheels I really would like for my 240sx but the offset is +45 ...though i'm consideing buying them since its a good price and now I have some concerns.

The wheels are 18X 8J +45 offset, My question is:

Would 25mm spacers be the right size to get if I wanted to get the wheels flush with the edge of the wheel well?

Also would they clear coils and z brakes and not rub with the right spacers?

And lasly what are some recomended tire fitments for this size wheel?

thanks

Ugh.

Seriously, skip 'em.

There are plenty of wheels on the market with a better offset... You're going to need much more than 25mm to get those to look decent, and even then it'll look goofy from the front and rear.

I really like MB Weapons: Cheap, durable, light, and come in great S-chassis offsets.

Ehhh, I usually say skip it too but some wheels look ok with a high offset. They just won't have a lip on them. My wheels have a fairly high offset on them. I wouldn't have gotten them but the selling price was REDICULOUS, I couldn't pass it up. They look really nice imo too.

heres the wheels what they look like, I've been looking for this model. Still kind of on the fence

I really don't know, don't want something that won't look right, the 25mm spacers should do something for it but not enough then?

^ Hitman is right, skip em. Yeah some look alright but those don't. Those are the kinda wheels that if you do put spacers on them, it'll look just like what you did, which was put spacers on them.

you picked up those ms1 professors for like 600 right? i saw those on craigslist and would have picked em up, but didnt like the offset and size. but nice pick up!

anyways, ya skip them they wont look well even with spacers +1 on the mb weapons azhitman suggested. those look like sex on a s-chassis with right size/offset

I got them for $540 with some cool rainbow lugs included. The tires are really good too. I'm really surprised at how they fit. The fronts need maybe a 5-10mm spacer but the rears are flush. I have a feeling the offsets might be a little lower than what he said. Anyways, I'm really glad I got them. Sorry to brag btw.
