yeah i wanna know how big i can get as well. of course ppl are going to say "use the search button" but what i have found is that most ppl have 17". not 18"? is it because it will rub against the car, or its too big, or what? i just wanna know if i can fit 18" on my 1993 240 coupe.

let me get this straight...you're gonna shell out money for WORKS VS-KF...but you're only gonna go with an 18x7.5 front, AND you want the widest tire you can get?
Go to FreshAlloy's best of 240sx section and read.

ill answer it for you straight up.
for the front, order 18x9.5 with about +20 offset. this will just clear coilovers and you'll have to roll your fenders and you'll have ultimate flushness. Use a 245/40/18 tire.
for the rear, try 18x10.5 with the same offset as the front, depending on whats available. Roll the rear fenders and run a 265/40/18 tire.
this is what i would get if was was going to order a set of custom Works

cough cough!!! =)
im me.. buy works from me too =)
anyhow.. if you have a s13 w/ stock body
you can usually run a 8 front and a 10 rear
w/ proper offsets of course
w/ a s14 you can run a 9 front and a 10 rear.
these are for stock fenders w/ no roll etc...
you can go more of course...
