so im starting to look at some wheels for the 240sx

basic criteria for the wheels:

16or17x8-9 (going to be running a very slight stretch most likely if above 8)no chamber or very minimal camber needed after a mild roll (no pull hopefully)no spacers neededclear z32 brakesgo from lock to lock with no rubbing (after relocating harness of course)4x114.3 lug patternstagered is optionalgood looking stanceclose to flush but nothing extremenot an outrageous price!!finally, if there is a wheel that gets all of these things, looks dosnt even matter at that point

at first i was looking at 16" rims but i dont know if they look correct in the wheel well but i was consittering that size for torque and ride height but if anybody can give me good explanations about 17's then id be cool with that

in any case going to be running an 8 or 8.5 inch tyre

i was looking at :

xxr 002: 15-16x8

006: 17x9

501: 15-16x8

513: 15-16x8

962: 17x9

orr???? suggestions of wheels that fit the criteria? other brands??

i thought i would ask more experienced people when it came down to this issue because i dont want to have to sacrifice a signfiicant amount of things and get the wrong wheels, thanks everybody!!! merry x-mas
