is there any type of wheel/rim offset that I need to know about on the 240? I'm not for sure and didn't think so but I thought might as well come to ya'll.  any help would be appreciated

What year 240SX do you have?  Are your wheels 4-lug or 5-lug?  I don't know if it makes a difference, but it may help some of the wheel-guru's on the site.

I changed my mind on the wheels of choice...the ones I want have a 4-lug pattern, just because of this, does this mean I need to change brakes etc? well not brakes, but you know, the rotors etc...check these rims out...http://www.victoriatire.com/wheels.html?cart=996182407382135&PICNUM=164&am p;&checkAvailable=F&make=NISSAN&model= 240SX%20%284CYL%29%2095-99&size=18...more racy like I wanted...might have to go with those...it's a 95 adn like I said, 4-lug pattern! peace

96SEChick · 07-26-2001, 04:28 PM

I really like those rims, Zexel!

Zexel · 07-26-2001, 08:24 PM

so with the 4-lug pattern...I know there has to be something that I have to change the make them fit...I mean, it's almost a must...I've never seen/thought about 4-lug pattern rims, so I'm not accustom to what you would have to do to make them fit correctly...someone please help me out!

Go take a look at your wheels, my s13 has a four lug setup from the factory. I'm pretty sure the s14 has a five lug setup.

Zexel · 07-26-2001, 09:19 PM

it does have a 5-lug setup pattern...so what are you saying? I can't put the wheels that they say fit on my 240? I love the wheels and would do anything to make them fit...

Well, if I remember right, you need to replace the hubs themselves. There isn't something you can just slap on top to rearrange your lugs. I would guess the s13 hubs, or those from a 300z would work.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Perhaps bug somebody with an s13 to trade. . .
