trying to decide on these 2 wheels? need some help

[clean]

i can either get kosei k1's or gram lights . not sdure if the kosei's will clear my coilovers but the size would be 16x7.5 +32 w/ 225/50/16 and 16x8.5 +37 w/ 245/45/16. not sure if i like that size either. or in the gram lights i was gonna go w/ 16X8+30 all around w/ the same tire sizes and tires. im leaning toward the gram lights. how can i easily figure out what off set on what width wheel will fit? anyway i know the grams will fit. thanks

which gram lights?
57c are butt ugly

57s and 57 pro are sweeet


koseis are clean and classic. very simple and have awesome brake clearance!

16x8 +30 is safe
R32 gtr is that size, clear z brake and coilover a-ok

they are the c's and i dont want 17's so the pro's are out. will those sizes in the kosei's clear my coilovers and should i just get both 16x8.5 in the same tires size, so 16x8.5 all the way around.

will the 16x7.5 +32 clear w/a 225/50 tire on it?

Probably. That's a pretty common fitment.

Before you order, though, why do you want to stagger tire sizes? Any specific reason? Do you like lots and lots of understeer?

well i wanted the 245 on the rears because i figure it would give me more traction. i figure the 16x8 in the grams all around just because of the offset it would look beter than the 16x7+25 up front. why woukd it create alot of understeer? anyway this isnt for track wheels, just everyday daily driver wheels. waht would you suggest i get for wheels and tire size for a daily driver to clear my coilovers?

im bumping this pretty far...but oh well

dont get wider wheels in the back if youre like keeping your money, because you can't rotate them.

[Dousan_PG]

rotating tires? what's that? i havent done that in over 2 years hahahahahaha..they dont last long enough

[AKADriver]

It will give more traction... in the rear. More traction in the rear is the cut and dried definition of understeer.

If it's for daily driving, then you should also not stagger, so that you can rotate tires.

It's generally just a silly idea unless you have a specific reason to do it (i.e. something deeper than "more traction").

[the head]

amazing that most cars i have driven have staggered tires and none of them have understeer problems

[AKADriver]

Their suspensions were tuned for it.

240SX is not.

This isn't friggin' rocket science. If a car is balanced with one tire setup (straight, staggered, whatever), then a tire setup with more rear grip bias will understeer.
