I'm looking for opinions on this. The 240sx I bought is currently on some FAST hayaku rims, 17x8, +25mm offset and some spacers with integrated studs of unknown thickness (will check tonight). The car has the 5 lugs/300zx brakes, is on coilovers and run 225/45/17 up front and 235/45/17 in the back. Fenders have been rolled.

Now, I just bought some 225/45/17 continental race slicks for it that will go on those rims. The kicker is that I'm now looking for a cheap set of rims that will act double duty of keeping the car movable when the slicks are not in use and as a set of rear rims for eventual drifting.

I found a great deal on some FAST tarantula 17x8. One rim has a cracked spoke but that doesn't matter much to me as only need 2 solid ones for drifting.

The problem is that they have a +40 offset. Considering my other +25mm rims already have spacers, would it be a problem to run those, possibly with even more spacers? Especially for drifting.
