Im lookin for somewhere that possibly does some staggered type wheel and tire packages...most of the ones i have browsed were straight 17x7 or whatever which is total crap! We need more options for our 4 lug applications...im also planning on having Chargespeed front and rear fenders on my HB so i want a wheel to compensate for the fender. Does anyone have a similer set up?? maybe 17x8 front 17x 10 rear or maybe know of a place that can set up someting like this? im not very knowledgeable about offsets etc. so any help or advice is appreciated.93 HB 240sx

maybe i should do 5 lug conversion to avoid this?

DOOM out.

hi,it's going to be nigh impossible to find 17x8,17x9,17x10 wheels for 4 lug.

therefore, you should either smaller, less aggressive wheels, or get a 5-lug conversion.

if you do go 5-lug, gozigen fn01rc in 17x9, 17x10 et15/12? looks good with overfenders. plus, they're cheap.

anyway, moral of story: 5 lug if you're going crazy size and width!

Try checking with some of those wheel company's to see if they get shipped undrilled wheels (blanks) that can have a 4 - lug drilled in them. I work for Player Wheel Group - maker of big heavy wheels and we get alot of our wheels undrilled and we custom drill them for our customers. It's worth a shot anyway.

Yea the more i think about it, the more i lean towards the 5 lug conversion....i see ALOT of 5 lug wheels i like. But that idea about ordering wheels that arent drilled doesnt sound bad. Thanx for the input guys...ill keep you updated and some pics coming soon

5zigen rims look ghetto especially if you go wide. if you go wide id suggest big deep rims like work or ssr. id suggest you to not 5lug and then 5zigen... its like what 800 bucks for a 5lug conversion for ... 800 dollar rims??? rather just buy some smaller 4 lug rims that look badass

if you do widebody, you must have wheels to go with it.18x11 rear, 17x10 front

and a real wheel. not an fn01rc.
