ok thanks for all the replies, they were very helpful.

To sum it all up...

I should get 17x10 +12 all around, screw the spacers, get my over fenders, convert to 5 lug, and get some badace tires.

Ok for the final question from me, maybe!

Now I need to decide on a wheel color...

hyper black, or bronze?

I'll be getting my car sprayed a gloss white.

I'm thinking Bronze wheels, and white car, will be sexy!

The wheels and tire upgrade is still a few months in the making though, kind of hard coming up with the ten one hundred dollar bills lately ($1,000)!

Who gives a **** if alot of people have them. The 240sx is not exactly a rare car to have now-a-days anymore either and we still have them. **** what everyone else thinks, rock that **** and rock it hard.

i realize its not rare nemore and thats what im talking about, all the more reason to rock different wheels, but do what yall want, i just dont want mine to end up looking like every other ricers 240 who want to drift...If your open to suggestions and your gona end up painting or powdercoating them, i would do them purple...that **** would like badass on a white car.

most people run a 7-8 inch max., I think if your going to be running high powered motors, modified vehicle, etc., etc., you should go larger on the width, which I will be

Thanks everyone for the replies, it helped alot.

I'm going Bronze and 17x10" +12 all around!

oh, yeah, you can think of me as a ricer if you want to, but when I finish my car, its going to rock, I've probeble got more money into my car even before it's running than you probably do with what ever upgrades you have. I'm not going to release any of my mods, or future mods at the moment. But in about 6 months, I'll be compiling my list of my mods done to the motor!

wow, im so happy for you that you will have more money into your car, that is quite the accomplishment. How old are you? I could give a **** less about how much money you have into your car. If your so damn wealthy then buy some more original wheels. But whatever, ill look forward to seeing your list of mods in 6 months...

You just poped the word "ricer" out compared to your car, I'm not saying that I'm rich or anything, I work my a** off just like everyone in this forum does. I know the thin line between being ricer, and when you have a car thats worth more then most other cars out on the road. I don't go around looking for **** body kits, tall a** wings, or whatever. I get what I like and I will bolt it to my car.

And I didn't mean for it to sound like that, I was leaning more towards, that you may have stuff done to yours, but you kind of sounded like you went to a conclusion, that I just jumped on the 240 bandwagon, whatever it is, just to drift. I've had my 240 for little over a year and a half, and I've been tuning and building cars for about 5 years now.

I know what I can and can't do with a rwd car, I've had 2 other rwd's before the 240, and I know I can drift or powerslide or whatever, but I also know what my limit is on power and handling.

But lets forget that, I don't care any more.

and sorry for sounding like a b!tch, I'm not wanting to make any enemies or whatever.

so lets just drop the little ricer attitude now!!!
