Does anyone know about the fitment of 20" wheels on a '95 240sx? I am thinking about going with 19"x8.5 up front and 20"x8.5 in the rear.

wow why you actually WANT TO do that? Theres alot of modifications for your wheel-well to take that kind of size, I know that theres gonna be ALOT of money involved to make that works, that brings me to a story not relevant to this but just to let you know.

My friend has a 01 Pathfinder and he fitted 20's in, it looks VERY nice, but the only problem is when he reverses it rubs his back wheels, so I am guessing for the size of the SUV it STILL rubbed, I couldn't imagine how 20's would look. But hey if you wanna go for it, money can make anything happen. But in my personal suggestions I would go 18-19's and that's pushing it. But it's really up to you. Good luck, keep me inform on how your search turns out, if you CAN fit them 20's tell me what mods you did.

David Lee Jenkins in NC ran the same setup on his 95 SE for awhile. Yes, it was gaudy and the car needed the 75 shot to get moving, but they fit fine. He has the lime green car on Erebuni's website. He's since gone down to 19s at all corners. Only a little fender rolling was needed.

While I think the idea of 20" rims on a 240sx is absolutely atrocious... I do like your body kit a little.... what kind is it?

geekyone and I shot a couple e-mails back and forth, he seems like a reasonable guy and might reconsider the 20's!! :D (good man) Anyway, I'll say it again, that body kit and paint look very nice. It's more extreme than I would usually go for, but it looks good, I would certainly consider it.

Ahh, your natural skepticism strikes again. For some reason I give people the benefit of the doubt. I’m such a push-over! :D

here my personal criteria for things to spend money on:does it.A. make the car faster?B. make it lighter?C. Make it handle better?D. make it stop better?

if it cant register on any of those its a big NEGATORY on the approval scale.

you dont need anything over a 17" rim. period. even race cars dont use anything over 18"....if that!
