Is this a good deal for Enkei?

[1121S13]

Enkei RS6 17's 4x100
w/ yokohama tires..
550.00

What would the offset for my 1989 S13 be???
would it rubb??

thx in advance.

[SilviaDriver]

those rims wont even fit.

our PCD size is 4x114.3

[1121S13]

thx a bunch

[DRFT]

yup wont fit at all :(

[1121S13]

it said 4x100/4x114.3
does that mean it comes in 2 PCD's?
or fits both PCD's?

thx guys

[SiL1480]

If it's 4x100/4x114.3 then, yes, it should fit. Not sure on your offset.

[nrcooled]

17's mean nothing! You need to say how wide the rim is

17x7, 17x8,...then you can judge what offset you need

[russian]

actually if they are new, its outrageously cheap. the tires alone worth at least 300$.

[1121S13]

Enkei RS6 17X7 4x100/4x114
Just afraid if these wont fit on my 89 S13 after purchased.

Are these Enkei wheels cheap or just a good deal??

eeeeh nasty
but what's the offset?
i wouldnt buy them already. 17x7..weak.

[1121S13]

dousan, weak as in? style?? size???
can u be more specific, iam willing to take this forums advice:)

thx for quick reply

[Dousan_PG]

weak as in width
for me, and this is myabe just me. if im buying a 17" wheel i want a 9" width

widht is what is important
you havemore tire choices, nice contact patch as well.

also, i like
15x7 or wider
16x8 or wider
17x9 or wider

my old 15s were 7.5" wide.

just so skinny. leave that for the 'tuners' and wannabes. put out good money for quality, proper wheels for a 240sx application. dont go weak on some wheels that are not proper (offset wise) for your car.

[1121S13]

16X8
17X9 wow, some wide wheels..
:( time for more research..

[Dousan_PG]

dont worry
i am perfectionist and anal about wheels

do it right the first time i think is the best route.
get the wheels in the proper offset and size and never look back, no regrets.

[1121S13]

sorry dousan but Proper offsets meaning?
Same as Stock width?

sorry am just clueless..

thx for replys

its ok!

OFFSET IS VERY IMPORTANT
first u should read up and learn about why offsets and wheel width are so important.

here read this ALL. you'll learn a lot:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm


now check this out after for info, this is from Freshalloy.com
Wheels/hubs

-Clearance of wheels for Z32 brake upgrade is entirely dependent on wheel spoke AND wheel design, NOT on offset of wheel.
-Wheel width/offset needed for clearance of coilovers is as follows (disregarding brake clearance):

6" +54 or lower
6.5" +45 or lower
7" +40 or lower
7.5" +34 or lower
8" +30 or lower
8.5" +24 or lower
9" +20 or lower

Please note that this does not take into account variations in offset calculation by manufacturer, or tire sidewall bulge. This list also does not take into account differences in design of coilovers (esp. lower brackets on coilover kits which can cause changes in wheel clearance issues). This list also only applies to the FRONT WHEELS and is intended as a GUIDE for reference.

-The LARGEST wheels that will fit the front of a S13/14 with stock fenders is 9" wide. The rear can take up to 10.5" wide with a very specific offset AND must dial in negative camber. To fit large wheels one must use negative camber to ensure proper fender clearance.

[russian]

so, per say, if i wanna get them typhoons, 17*8 all around, would +30 offset on the rear clear without abnormal neg camber? fronts as far as i understand, the lower offset the better, right?

lower offsetis not alwasy good
depends on what your setup is and such
since u want no camber or if any,a little, then a higher offset would be choice to keep the tire/wheel under teh fender

also have to take into mind scrub radius and such..i forget the terms. i know dorifto180sx has explainedit many times but i cant recall anddont want to gues.anways, there are lots of factors to consider.

all depends on your application and what you are doing w/ your car.

[russian]

im building my care towards track&street. i just want wider wheels, sorry man but my 17*7 look woosy from the rear too skinny. at one point i thought getting stang 5.0 wheels lol. but thats for a 5 lug.

i was thinking typhoons 17*8 for rear with 235 tire. i dont have coilovers so its not a prob, just AGX&pro kit.

[1121S13]
