I was wondering what a high offset like a +40 would look on a 240. I know it won't look that great ... but I have never seen what it actually looks like. People say it looks bad - but what the hell does it look like? I must know.

mds04086 · 03-14-2005, 07:17 PM

ummm...just look at your stock steeles they are +40

it depends on width wheel you are talking about they will look different

MakotoS13 · 03-14-2005, 08:03 PM

a few things:

position of wheel to fender depends on wheel width AND offset

secondly, real sports cars do have cupholders

third, tyler durden said losing all hope is freedom... not fight club. theres a difference.

bullshit asshole noone likes the tuna here

xVaporx · 03-14-2005, 09:59 PM

exactly. 17x7 +40 will look like caca, while 17x10+40 doesnt look horrible, just not quite perfect

kings_blend · 03-14-2005, 11:10 PM

look at my wheels they are poo

Hondamatic · 03-15-2005, 12:29 AM

your wheels/// your whole car! drop it get some spacers!

Chillaxed 240sx · 03-15-2005, 08:06 AM

Aight, the reason I am asking is because one of my Honda friends showed me some Rota Grids and Slipstreams and they look pretty nice ... 16"x6.5" (something like that, I forget) and apparently Rota makes them in the Nissan 4 lug pattern - but they are somewhat hard to come by. So I figured if I could find a set of used wheels going cheap on eBay or something like that, I might pick those up ... what I really want to do is get some 91-94 SE wheels, but they are looking to be hard to come by.

vvtisupra · 03-15-2005, 10:11 AM

yah get those rotas and some 40 mm spacers hahaha

well then just be ready to dish out an extra $70 for each custom adapter or else its not worth buying a wheel that will look like ass. Im getting the rota GT3's in red, but im also getting adapters to space them out to a 8 offset all around the NEXT day, or else i wont run them.

pruto · 03-15-2005, 12:47 PM

my 17x9 are almost 40 offset... they are +38, with a 255 tire it doesn't look too bad...

it just looks a lot better now with a +25mm spacer =)

yeah, don't buy honda rims unless you know what you're getting yourself into... sunken battleship, not cool, especially for the money you can possibly get some old school dori rims if you look hard enough

North240 · 03-15-2005, 01:00 PM

it looks wack and you'll get flamed, thats pretty much the common response as for pictures, i cant help you out there but just picture wheels that dont come close to the edge of the fender, they will look like that.

***FaLKoN240*** · 03-15-2005, 01:12 PM

Why the hell would you want a 6.5" width? That's basically the stock wheel with a different center pattern. . . don't waste the money

Salty_X · 03-15-2005, 01:43 PM

I'm sorry I have to do this to you.

MurdarioStomp · 03-15-2005, 02:33 PM

ouch....wow thats some massive sunken-ness

Chillaxed 240sx · 03-15-2005, 02:44 PM

Salty-X - thanks. Fuck Rotas. At least someone had pictures to show ...

sideviewcivic · 03-15-2005, 03:33 PM

i remember on Drift Tengoku vol 6. Tanaguchi was running 17x8 +22 fronts 17x10 +45 rears with i think appears to be a 10mm spacer and it sits quite nicely on his S15. but don't forget that S15 rear track width is 10mm wider then s13 IIRC. the high offset seems funky until you get such a wide wheel. 7.5inches and smaller, get the low offset, 8inches and wider 15-20offset will be the lowest you should go unless you don't mind rolling and pulling fenders to make it fit.

Chillaxed 240sx · 03-15-2005, 05:11 PM

Guess I'll be sticking with the stock wheel size of a 91-94 SE ... doesn't matter - those wheels look hawt.

smooth240 · 03-16-2005, 07:18 PM
