Would this look good or no on my 240?

[TwoForDee]

I was looking into 5 lug conversions for my 240sx and I saw one company sells a pair but they also act as a 50mm spacer, could anyone show me a picture of a 240 with 50 mm spacers? Thanks

No, because there are many other factors when it comes to adding spacers.

If you ad a 50mm spacer to a x9 wheel with an original offset of +65, then a 50mm spacer would look good.

If you took the same spacer and placed it behind a normal sized wheel, you would need overfenders.

The main reason to go 5 lug is for better wheel choices. Converting to 5 lug with a 50mm spacer is just dumb; it severely limits your wheel choice.

Well I have a pair of rota grids for my 240 but there 5 lug of course so without overfenders they would look dumb? How about with overfenders?

[Chris28]

Option 1: sell them and buy 4 lug grids. They exist.

Option 2: Go 5 lug.

Those are your only options. To answer your questions, yes they would look dumb without overfenders, and yes they would look dumb with overfenders.

I agree with Chris. The point is to do this right the first time and you wouldn't need spacers. There are enough 4 lug wheels available to seriously consider keeping the stock setup. See my sig if you want more 4 lug options that would look good on a 240.

But going 5 lug is pretty damned cheap and easy if you wanna do it.
The only way I'd use a 5 lug adapter with a ginormous 50mm spacer like what you're talking about is if it converted my car to a Chevy lug pattern. Then, in that case, you could run old school OEM Corvette wheels... which were like 17x9 & 17x11...

why don't you just buy a five lug swap that doesnt have a 50mm spacer? look at peak performance or ichiba.

[Metal Angel]

oh... i just realised... you are looking at a 4 lug to five lug spacer conversion... say no! run the other way! You wanna get an actual hub swap, not just a wheel spacer that goes from 4 lug to 5 lug.

This is not true.

Proper 5 lug or go home.

[costa_rican13]

not a 240 but you get the idea.

^^^^^

Proper 5 lug or go home.

debatable.
5 lug has a greater variety,
but there are enough choices for 4 lug for people to stay 4 lug.

50mm spacers seems a bit overkill imo.
i have 25mm spacers,
if that was doubled it would like a bit odd.
thinking about how it would look makes me want to say "orale esse!"

Powered by Max offers a 15mm spacer set with long studs installed and 3/5/7mm spacers that can be added on to them individually or all at once making a 30mm total as a set, or you can buy just the 15mm spacers. I have a set of Enkei RP01's that I got for cheap and was thinking about how they would look with the 15mm spacers. They are +32 and +38.
