14's are way to small for a 240! Dont get your head ripped off for some fiicked up wheels!

The only offset they make for 7jj are 45 lol

What wheels should I get then? I like the style of those sportmax wheels, simple 5 spoke design, and I want some lip. I'd like 16's or 17s for under 600. What should I get?

A friend of mine has some 15in mesh wheels of his old fox body mustang, Im trying to get ahold of them. He did a 5 lug conversion and doesn't need them anymore.

nothing smaller than 15, nothing less than an 8in diameter, nothing with a higher offset then 20(give or take a few depending on rim width). your search begins now.

These look pretty cool, but i want some more offset and a wider rim.

These look like the wheels off the mustang I am trying to buy. They are the same pattern, except black. I think they would look sweet.

You see how the spokes are pushed back and they say 40 offset? Those wheels would look like garbage on a 240, if it sad 15 offset then it might work. When shopping for rims for a 240, take your time. It will pay off in the long run. For dope rims try passwordjdm.com or enjuku racing. Enjuku racing got these SICK a$$ greddy wheels. If you get sport max's youll end up looking like every other 240 out there. Rota grids look hella sick also 16x8, 15 offset. Ohhhh also craigslist.com got crack head deals on rims, sometimes youll find some rare JDM ones. Good Luck

Stay away from anything that says it's for a Honda or Toyota. That ebay listing has no right saying those wheels are for a 240sx.

I've got a set of SPA rims I'd let go for cheap. 16x7 32mm

Mesh with polished lip. They came on my Skyline and looked pretty good.

Lol, i think im going to pick up the meshies off my buds old mustang. They are black with a polished lip and he only wants 200 for them. It's worth a shot. They are for 4x4.5in lug pattern, correct me if im wrong but thats the same as 4x114.3.
