The offset isnt right for the width of the wheel. If you get a 10mm spacer everything should look right

10mm... thats not much, I know the rear wheel wells are quite large.. you think it'll look ok?? and what do you think about calipers? red/black/silver.. my 240's dark purpleish.

Black for the calipers

Just a thought, 10mm spacers all around should do the trick

42 offset is more for FWDs; 7.5 is wide enough (sorta) but again it's the offset that makes the wheel look right on a car. If you're undecided about getting spacers, put the wheels on and measure the distance from the top of the fender to the widest part of the wheel then get spacers accordingly.

As for calipers, black or silver might be ok.

Factory remote? Out here it's like $80 to program it, not including buying it. How about getting an aftermarket alarm instead?

noooooooooooooooooooooot. This question has been asked a lot around here, but everyone ends up going to the dealer. I don't even think it's possible to code it yourself because of security issues.

If someone knew how to program it from home, then it would be easy to steal any 240SX with keyless entry.

Think about it.

you should just not get ****ty offset wheels made for a 240sx i think, spend you money on some 17x8 for the front and 17X9 on the back with the right offset

17" are gay.

wow. I won't even bother commenting with that anymore.

Well... BTW ADR are mainly a FWD wheel maker, with the exception of the Sterling and a couple other wheels they make.

"shiot" or not.
