Wheel Choices, help a brother out!
 
Hey peeps, I got a couple wheel choices. Need some advice on which wheels would be a better choice in your opinions.

Front and Rears Wheel A- (16x7... +45 offset)

Front Wheel B- (17x8... +42 offset, +32 offset, +32 offset)
Rear Wheel B- (17x9... +47 offset, +37 offset, +27 offset)

Front Wheel C- (17x8... +35 offset)
Rear Wheel C- (17x9... +35 offset)


Now when I look at this list, my eyes start to focus on wheel B, for 1 reason... more offset choices. I've been trying to understand the whole offset from the center of the wheel blah blah blah yadda yadda. I'm still stoopid but would am willing to learn. You guys have a passion for this platform and anything ranging from a flame to full description print-out would help. I would settle for Wheels C, but the inch difference and the same offset measurements make me a little iffy. I would really like to get some input on the offset selection for Wheels B (trying to go with as close as a flushed look as possible w/o fender flares if possible. If i need fender flares, please put that in your reply), if all else fails, i'll settle with Wheels A.

Throw the A set up out the window

Honestly...the B set up needs a lower offset, by about 5-8 on both the front and back. But the choices you have
+32 front and +27 rear. If you have coilovers or aftermarket shocks/springs, you might not clear the front w/o a spacer. This is a big might. A little lower offset and you will have a real nice flush look.

neither
17x9 Front and Rear with anywhere from a 0 to a 20 offset you will need to pull you fenders a bit but its free or cheap.

Well I wish I didn't have to Resort to this, but here's more specs for Wheel B (16 incher style!)


Front Wheel B- (16x7.5... +32 offset, +22 offset, +12 offset)
Rear Wheel B- (16x8.5... +37 offset, +27 offset, +12 offset)

How does my future look with a new set of flushed wheels on a PS13 240sx (coupe)?

Front +32
Rear +27

Sounds like a great size/offset to me

32 is boring go lower at least 25 front

i think +22 would be to low for a 7.5"...:dunno:

Catharsis 07-29-2004 05:12 PM

for a 7.5j i would go as clsoe to 0 as possible

+32 or +22?!?! I would think to have a lower offset in the rears because of more track, and a higher offset in front for a more together look. Will +32 come closer to a flushed look with or without spacers?

no lower for flush

Every thing seems to be said but put some twenny foes under that ride, oh sure theyll fit pull them fenders up, you might need to use a metal baseball bat for help, and camber them bad boys make them like / \ you say the bolt pattern is wrong iv got a drill for that, now put this washer on the bolt and torque it down.
playa your ride has now been pimped.
