Help with offset please

[nuttypboy]

Hi, I need help on calculating if these wheels will fit on a 93' Nissan 240SX with coilovers. The reason I can't find out for myself by putting them on is:

1.They're 5lug
2. I don't have the car yet (probably get flamed for this)

The reason i don't have the car yet is because my uncle is giving me his, but not until the airforce stations him somewhere.

Ok, back on the subject.

Fronts:15x8.5 calculated the offset to be 25mm

Rears:15x9.5 calculated the offset to be 20mm

If someone could help me find out if they would fit or not, I'd appreciate it greatly. Also if they don't fit, could you tell me what I would need to do to make them fit, besides getting a 5lug converion which i already know about. Thanks again

I am thinking more like 35...but we need to wait and see...and you will need to do a five lug conversion no?


Damn dude, it is hard to tell...perhaps someone has a chart for that unit, the car, and the everything...coilovers matter...you know, just not enough info to make a wild guess (as I did) but I am watching this thread to learn the vibes of what everyone else thinks.

It is almost voodoo at this point unless someone wants to put some subjective science behind it. I use to look at a rim and nail the offset close to within 2MM...I am rusty..don't think I will go there this time..

For Sh!ts and grins, I am saying 32MM front, 35MM rear... I personally like more offset on the rar to exaggerate the negative camber on turns and launches. I purposely have a 6 degree negative camber on my rears at full throttle in first gear.(I don my flameproof suit)

One thing that is a fact...they are pretty ones. What you going to do with the old ones..are they alloy??

what did you mean by "I am thinking more like 35". Care to elaborate? And I'll probably sell the stock alloys. Thanks for replying


Heres a pic of the car.

I know the car looks like ****, but hey, it's free.The first thing that's going is that ugly *** front license plate holder!

35MM ..and I a down for some of those to have eventually, as your timing comes around.

So, your saying that they'll fit if i get 10mm or 15mm wheel spacers?
