Need Rim help

16X7.0J offset +35 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern
16X7.5J offset +29 5x114.3mm bolt pattern
16x8.0J offset +37 +35 +30 +20 5x114.3mm

Ok i need some help i am a complete moron when it comes to picking the size of rims, i have a 96 240sx and i would like to know what offset i need for the front and rear to make them flush with the fenders...

i was thinking 16x7.0 in the front with the 35 offset.
and 16x7.5 in the rear with 29 offset.

I have the 30mm 300zxz brake conversion kit with tein coilovers also.. they told me these rims will clear them but do i have to pick a certain offset? thanks..

try this:

wheel offset calculator (http://www.mercurycapri.com/technical/suspen/woc.html)

you can find out how many millimeters you need to "flush" them by just using a straight edge and a ruler on your own car.

personally, if i were you, i would choose the 16x8 +30 all around, or the 16x7.5 +29 all around.  use 245's with the 8's, and 235's with the 7.5's.  there is VERY little good reason to get a staggered setup.  only good for looks.  and that means that if your rear tires are worn more than the fronts, you can't swap ends.  or, like me, your fronts wear faster than the rear due to cornering.  either way, you won't want to swap front to back.  just get the same all around and avoid that problem.

if you need more traction than a 235/245 can provide, get better tires <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

i'd put $20 on them being 15x6" +40mm. &nbsp;they don't clear the Z brakes because of spokes being too thick in the back.
