wheel offset

[Project_S13_180]

when i upgrade my wheels what offset will i need, i think my stock is 32mm or somewhere around there, should i keep that offset or what? i dont want my wheels sticking out of my fenders...im also thinking17x7's in the front 17x8's in the rear. could i go wider in the rear? should i go wider? im not real smart about wheels as you can tell. im also new to this site and to Nissan's i just recently got mine but i have basic knowledge about my car, i know my way around it, im just concerned about wheels when i come to that road...if anybody can help i'll appreciate it, peace

stock wheel offset for the 240sx is +40

alot of your questions can be answered by reading the stickies up top in the tires, wheels, brakes, and suspension forum

A nice setup would be a 17X7.5 ET30 all the way around. There's not much of an advantage to run a larger size out back. The tire FAQ is full of good size information for this setup as well.

the wheels i want come in +32mm offset and +45 offset, which is best?

The 17x7 should be about 40-45mm. On the 8 you would need to check with them to see what they have test fit.
