I own a 97 240sx base model and im just wondering what rim size is on the car. It seems to me that its 15 inch rims but im  not sure. The rims have alot of spokes on them and have a nissan emblem in the middle and its also a four lug. If anybody knows the approximate size please tell me. Thank you

uh... you can check by looking at the sidewall of the tire that's mounted on it. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I'm pretty sure (like boosted) that they're 15". I don' think any 4-lug 240s (actually I don't think any 240s) came with anything bigger than 15" wheels.
I think yours are probably steel wheels with the hub-cap. Sort of like me... only I took the hubcaps off. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

FYI - on the sidewall there will be a set of numbers that looks like &nbsp;P195/60/R15 88V &nbsp;"P" stands (I think) for Passenger - i.e. the tire goes on passenger vehicles, 195 is the width of the tire in mm, 60 is the aspect ratio (width to sidewall height or something like that), the "R" in front of 15 stands for Radial for the construction of the tire, and 15 is the diameter of the tire (and wheel) in inches. "88V" is the speed rating, I believe...

The wheel is actually 15"x6", +40mm offset (or thereabouts). &nbsp;Dimensions are the same as an S13 alloy wheel or an S13/S14 steel wheel.

Are these: http://www.aaarims.com/wheels/62342.JPG the wheels you speak of??? They are 15 x 6.5.


&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;p.s. BTW, for those of you looking for the 4 lug spec-V sentra wheels, www.aaarims.com has them for 992.00 a set and gives you 100.00 off of that for ordering a set of 4 wheels.
