Wheel Fitting

Would this fit well on a 1996 240sx 4 lug

4-108/100 and an offset of 38

Nope. You have a 4x114.3 bolt pattern. The offset would work quite likely, but that's moot.

moot?

moot = pointless to discuss because the bolt pattern is not the same, thus rendering that wheel's offset to be irrelevant.

Sorry man.

RyanT, glad you asked. I'll scoot this over to the new tire/wheel section for you

Offset is the distance from the wheel hub mounting surface to the center line of the wheel.

The combination of the wheel width and that offset will determine where the tire ends up in the wheel well. That will be critical when it comes to what tire size you can run without having rubbing issues.
