14 inch rims on a 240sx??

[Mattsgreeneg]

hey i just a good deal on a set of enkei mesh rims for 100 w/ tires but the only thing is they are 14s. are any of u guys running 14inch rims on ur 240?

[ThatGuy]

Sell them and get something bigger. Unless you like driving a skateboard.

It can be done, but 14 is just too small IMO.

[Mattsgreeneg]

i thought it wouldnt be that small haha until i threw them on.

[Wahl 136]

I think my spare dough-nut is 14" :keke: Seriously though, it's not going to look proportionate to wheel well.

EDIT: Post pictures of them on your car!

Sorry I cant tell you how the 14 inchers run. Im currently runnin 15's though. There is an advantage to running A smaller rim size. With a smaller rim size, there is less mass the engine has to turn(AE86's with <100hp), therefore an increase in tourque could be achieved. Personally I would not get a set of 14's because the car would drag on the ground, but If you have the height go for it. You could always just stick two of those tires on the rear. I'm not sure what your future plans are but, I would save up for a set of 17's because they might be a better fit. Good luck with what ever you plan to do.

its just a daily

[Wahl 136]

its just a daily

then why not stick with OEM?

[slideways14]

dude 14 inch= lame.. i dont think stock steelies are even that small

and i dont think smaller wheels gives you more torque.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

driving your car into a wall > 14" enkei mesh


just roll stock. even ae86's look stupid with 14" wheels.

[slideways14]

speaking of being from pa we should try and get a 240 meet together

[Matej]

Mine are 15's, and I still hate how small they are. I had to get 60 profile tires, because with 50's my swaybars were sitting on the ground, yet I still had wheel gap in the front.
Wheel gap = fail. :)

[projectRDM]

14" wheels will probably hit the front calipers anyway.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

nah, it will fit. i've seen pics of 14's on an s13. on NICO, go figure.

I've seen a few 240s with 14s which are slightly small, but a 15" looks a little better. The overall opinion on this site seems to be 18" is the smallest you would want on a 240 because everything else looks too small...so just do what you think looks good because they don't have to look at your car each and every day.

How wide are those 14" rims anyway? 5 inches? lol

[d*star180]

Found one.

[sushimi]

:ugh:

ddddddd

[ronmcdon]

Looks ok aesthetically on a s13 imo, but wouldn't work on a s14 at all.
the biggest prob i could see running 14's is lack of brake options. I'd run staggered 16's on my s14 if i could find a good option on new wheels that could clear z brakes & coilovers fine.

[Matej]

This car has 14's.

I've seen pictures of a slammed gold fastback with 13's on the front and 14's on the rear, I can't find it though.

[illvialuver]

i think bikes have bigger wheels.
but atleast tires will be cheap.

[slothonaleash]

of course bikes have bigger wheels....imo if you get the right profile and you have the car slammed, then you can pull off 14's

but enkei 15+16 inch meshes are being sold on the for sale forums here once or twice a week for pretty cheap...i'd go for a set of them if you are worried about fitment

[chmercer]

only way to slam a 240 on 14s is to do a body drop

[sr20det4mys13]

iono..i would just save up for something a little bigger.. i think 14 would be a lot more money trying to make the 14 look good on a car.. then it would be to just buy something a little bit bigger.. latah

How is 14" wheels a topic?...

If you are so broke that you are debating over $100 wheels for your car then you aren't going to get very far with this hobby...

[epik21]

Dude if you're gunna go get aftermarket rims, dont put smaller ones on. 15" or 16" is more like it.

[jdm538]

i used to run 14" rims cuz all 4 tires were only $90 no issues except i had to run 60 series tires and slam the car but it looked nice.

[ms!3]

if your gonna rock 14s run like 14x9s with slicks all around or something, autox style:naughty: . none of these lame 14x7 sizes.

[hatchbaak]

I would sell them to some honda and get bigger ones.

[Helghast]

They won't fit on Honda's.

Idiot.

Think before you speak. (errrr type.)

jeez.. no need to be a dick about it

[mrmephistopheles]

This thread is dumb, just like how 14"s look on 240sx.
14"s can work, but they look retarded.

Throw some D's on.. nevermind.
