Work cr2p....flat lip vs step lip - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Looking to get these in 19s but have issue.

Would u rather do 19 flat lip and the face is bigger but doesn't look as good or a step lip but wheel looks smaller.

I like the step look but not the size appearance.

Vs

I prefer the step lip... why are you buying 19's those are a little big, is this for a 240?

turboshoebox · 02-16-2018, 12:56 PM

Nothing wrong with 19s 240 or not. Got to have the rest of the car looking right of course to pull them off

Malik · 02-16-2018, 12:59 PM

this is true but you certainly cant put them on the front... 18 by 19 stagger makes sense even though its hard to pull off well (on a 240sx)

think about proportions when designing your car and you'll see why its not the best idea.

In front is no problem but thanks for the insight.

Main concern is to chose better looking with step but smaller looking vs full 19inch face. Still looks good but not as good but has the full big wheel look.

Best of both is to go 20s but that's too much Lol

Leaning to step

suit yourself shoebox... and next time be more specific as to the type of 240 you have: s13 vs s14.

turboshoebox · 02-17-2018, 01:44 PM

Flat or step was my main concern

derass · 02-17-2018, 04:42 PM

I personally dislike stepped lips, like on rebuilt BBS RS. But they don't look too bad on the ones you posted.

That being said, I would still go with the flat lip.

turboshoebox · 02-17-2018, 06:53 PM

I already hate bbs rs and its even worse double step

derass · 02-17-2018, 07:46 PM

Yeah. Those. They're awful.

I think it's because original RS's only came as 15". So people rebuild them with stepped lips to go up to 16/17". Looks like shit.
